Our Service
Citizens Advice Hart provides free, confidential, independent, impartial advice. Our service is open to all.
We operate our services from the Civic Offices in Harlington Way, where we answer phone calls to our Adviceline number 0808 278 7864 and see clients during drop-in sessions and by appointment. We also do outreach work at different locations across the district.
Our office and outreach venue addresses can be found on our website – through the contact us page or via clicking the Outreach button below in ‘Our Projects.’
Our Services & Projects
Our fantastic staff and team of 40+ volunteers deliver advice services; most of our CORE work involves helping residents with welfare benefits, debt and housing cases. We also help with issues encompassing relationships, employment, immigration and consumer law.
Clients can access the service in person, by phone or through digital channels.
All clients receive an initial assessment on their first contact with the service. The assessment aims to briefly explore the client’s problem and find the best way forward suited to the case and the client’s capacity to take action. Following this, we may give clients information and advice or book an appointment with one of our advisers.
We regularly advocate for those who are vulnerable through physical or mental health issues, language barriers, digital exclusion or other adverse personal circumstances. However, sometimes, we may be required to signpost or refer to an external organisation better placed to deal with a specific issue or area of the law.
