Who are we?
We are an independent charity responsible for our own funding. We are affiliated to the
national Citizens Advice which provides support in the form of training, I.T, our information
system and management support.
What we do
Brighton and Hove CAB gives free, independent, impartial and
confidential advice on a variety of issues including housing, consumer,
employment, debt, benefit, family and basic immigration. The CAB service works to inform
people about their rights and responsibilities, the options available
to them and potential consequences of different courses of action.
We also inform those responsible for policies and services about the
effect their decisions have on people with the aim of influencing future
policy decisions. To view our Social Policy statement click here.
