Changes to advice offered at Citizens Advice Woking from April 2024 

Woking Borough Council have withdrawn our core funding of £189,000. This means we can offer less advice and help.

We will continue to advise in depth on our core advice areas: 

  • Benefits 
  • Debt 
  • Housing 
  • Immigration 

We will continue to advise in depth on Employment, but only where staffing permits. 

However, we will only provide initial information on the following advice areas, after which we will signpost to other organisations where possible.

  • Consumer 
  • Family 
  • Law & Courts 
  • Health  

Food bank referrals

Due to funding cuts, we have made the decision to only issue foodbank vouchers as part of our advice, not in isolation.  

If you are only contacting us for a food voucher, please: 

Phone Woking Borough Council on 01483 755855 between the hours of 9am and 1pm and request a food bank referral.
