About us

At Macclesfield Wilmslow and District Citizens Advice Bureau we can help you sort out your money, legal and other problems. We can give you free, confidential, impartial and independent information and advice on a wide range of subjects to everybody regardless of age, race, religion, gender, disability or sexuality. And it’s not just advice. We campaign for change using your experiences to influence local and national policymakers and service providers to improve policies and services which aren’t working.

Macclesfield Wilmslow and District Citizens Advice Bureau is a member of the national charity Citizens Advice , which produces and updates AdviserNet (the web-based system we use to advise clients) and sets quality standards for our advice, training, equal opportunities and accessibility in the bureau.

We are an accredited, Quality Marked partner of the Community Legal Service.
