Virtual Citizens Advice booth pilot scheme
We're testing a new virtual advice service at Reddish Library. The virtual Citizens Advice booth has a computer that will let you speak with a Citizens Advice advisor online.
You'll need to have an appointment with Citizens Advice to do this.
If you want to speak to Citizens Advice without going to a library or Stopford House, you can call the Citizens Advice helpline free of charge on 0808 278 7803. The helpline is open Monday to Friday, from 8:30am to 5:30pm.
Visit the Citizens Advice website to find out more about how to get in touch.
If you'd prefer to get help online, you can read our getting advice online pages.
