Company Description
Citizens Advice Rural Cambs (CARC) is a local, independent charity and part of the national Citizens Advice network. We deliver free, confidential, and impartial advice to people across rural Cambridgeshire, covering Fenland, Huntingdonshire, and through some of our projects, East Cambridgeshire.
Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers helps thousands each year with issues ranging from benefits and debt to housing, employment, and access to essential services.
With just under 7,500 clients supported last year and over £5.4 million in income gains achieved for local people, our impact is real and far-reaching. We also deliver key services such as the Cambridgeshire Local Assistance Scheme, providing vital practical support to those in crisis.
Backed by strong training and development opportunities, CARC offers a meaningful, varied role for its staff and volunteers making a tangible difference every day. Financially, we are a stable and growing organisation with an annual income of around £1.1 million, supported by grants, donations, and charitable funding. Joining CARC means becoming part of a trusted, community-rooted charity with a positive reputation, ambitious plans, and a real commitment to improving lives across rural Cambridgeshire.
