All the services provided by Citizens Advice South Lakeland are free to our clients, which means that each year we have to raise large sums of money to keep them going.

We are particularly grateful to the following grant-making bodies who have supported us recently:

CURRENT FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES
We are currently raising funds for:
