Overview
Sudbury and South Suffolk Citizens Advice helps people find solutions to life challenges by proving free, expert advice for everyone. We are an independent charity and part of the national citizens advice network.

Our office has a small team of volunteers and staff, and their efforts contribute over £1m of value to the local community.
