Why we need your help

Last year, Citizens Advice Eastbourne helped 4,253 people in this town. With debt, housing, benefits, employment and more. Free. Confidential. No referral. No means test.

That's 4,253 people who found a way forward when they didn't know where to turn.

This year, we're not just trying to keep up. We're setting our sights higher. HELP 5000 is our commitment to reaching 5,000 people — and an invitation to Eastbourne's businesses, legal community and residents to be part of something bigger than any of us can do alone.

Charities like ours are often talked about in terms of survival. We're not interested in that conversation. We want to grow, to reach more people, and to prove that a community that pulls together can do extraordinary things.

Help us reach 5,000!
