Abseil for Advice - in aid of Citizens Advice Somerset

Citizens Advice Somerset supports over 20,000 people every year. This year, facing a funding shortfall, a team of staff and volunteers will be abseiling down the 400 year old Shepton Mallet prison to raise money for this amazing local charity.

Citizens Advice Somerset is an independent charity providing free, confidential and impartial advice. Our Vision: Everyone has somewhere trusted to turn for advice. Our Mission: Delivering excellent advice services; supporting & empowering people & advocating social change.

Story

We can all face problems that seem complicated or feel distressing. At Citizens Advice we believe that no one should have to face these problems alone and without access to good quality, independent advice.

Citizens Advice Somerset is a local charity that has been supporting people living and working in Somerset for over 80 years. Last year we delivered our service with the support of over 120 volunteers and 70 paid staff.

Our impact reached over 23,000 Somerset residents who we helped through critical times.

We make every £1 work really hard:

£21 will provide a telephone advice session so that someone can move forward with their life

£41 will provide in-person advice appointment to a vulnerable client

£1800 will train one of our dedicated volunteers – although it can cost up to £3,000 to do this to a more specialist level.

If you’d like to help us ensure that everyone has somewhere trusted to turn to for free and accessible help and advice, sponsor our abseiling team today!
