The Brewers Foundation Are Proud Supporters Of Citizens Advice Runneymede And Spelthorne
February 15th, 2024
The Brewers Foundation were thrilled to be able to make a difference
recently at the offices of Citizens Advice Runnymede and Spelthorne. 40L of
Contract Matt and sundries were donated to renovate their Addlestone and
Sunbury offices that were in desperate need of some TLC! Along with the
volunteer team from Enterprise Mobility and Voluntary Support North Surrey who
donated their expertise, time and painting skills, the redecoration has
provided a refreshed working environment for the Citizens Advice team.
Citizens Advice Runnymede and Spelthorne is a small, local,
independent charity providing free, confidential and impartial advice to the
community on issues such as housing, benefits and debt. Citizens Advice
Runnymede and Spelthorne is responsible for raising all its own funding and, as
with many other charities, is facing a funding shortfall combined with a huge
increase in demand for their services due to the cost-of-living crisis. This
meant that unfortunately there wasn't quite enough money in the pot for office
maintenance.
“We are very grateful to Brewers, VSNS and Enterprise Mobility
for donating paint, equipment and time to give our offices a new lease of life
and enable us to continue to help some of the most vulnerable people in our
society with free, confidential and impartial advice on a wide range of issues.”
