In early June the New Plymouth and Stratford branches of Citizens Advice Bureau received a grant of $5000 from the Lotteries Grants Board.
At a recent special general meeting in Stratford the Stratford CAB formally agreed to become an agency of New Plymouth CAB. There will be no noticeable changes for the public from this change of status, and Stratford will continue to operate from its existing location at 270 Broadway.
New Plymouth CAB operates from the Community Centre on Leach St (by the YMCA) where they have been situated for many years.
"We receive funding from the Lotteries Grants Board each year and it is greatly appreciated," NP CAB chair Bronwyn Crowe says.
"This funding will help us continue to deliver a high quality service to the people of New Plymouth and Stratford. Our trained volunteer interviewers can help people with information on almost any issue including consumer rights, work and unemployment, finance and tax, benefit entitlements, housing and tenancy and much more. No problem is too big or small."
