Citizens Advice Bristol

Citizens Advice Bristol is a local charity for the local community and is the only universal advice service in the City giving support to people facing complex challenges.

No one should have to face complicated or intimidating problems without good quality, independent and impartial advice. That is why the Foundation has supported the Charity since 1999. The unrestricted grant is essential to the day-to-day delivery of its services to the people of Bristol.

The problems facing households in some of the more deprived areas of Bristol are more complex now than ever before. In 2025 Citizens Advice Bristol helped 5,499 households, opened 5,875 cases, and resolved 29,557 issues, including debt, benefits, housing, energy and immigration. This is a 33% increase in clients and a 55% increase in cases from the previous year and demand is expected to rise again next year.
