Citizens Advice North Yorkshire (CANY)
CANY is part of the Citizens Advice charity network providing free, confidential, impartial advice, helping find a way forward, whatever problem people face, especially with rising costs.
Please advise anyone struggling not to let things build up. The sooner a call is made to the Freephone Advice line 0808 278 7900 (9.00 to 4.30 Monday to Friday), the sooner the first steps can be taken. The line is busy but calls are answered by an adviser who can help, so please encourage people to try again and they will get through.
There are drop-in sessions at the Harrogate office 10.00 – 12.30 on Fridays.
There are outreach services available at Ripon library (first Tuesday of the month) and at Allhallowgate Church in Ripon (last Tuesday of the month). There is a monthly outreach at Masham Community Office (first Thursday) and another at Nidderdale Plus (second Thursday by video link). Request for advice at an outreach venue can be made via the Advice line.
