Lewes District Citizens Advice provides free, independent and confidential advice to anyone on their rights and responsibilities. This grant will help fund a part-time staff member to provide specialist debt and welfare benefits casework for the ‘newly indebted’; those families and individuals who have never missed a rent/mortgage or council tax payment before but who are facing a shortfall and are seriously at risk from doorstep lenders or racking up credit card bills that they can no longer service.
