MEMBERS of Darlington's Citizen's Advice Bureau (CAB) have raised a toast to Volunteers Week.
Now in its 16th year, the week is a major event in the UK's volunteering calendar, and the Darlington Citizen's Advice Bureau is taking the opportunity to highlight the work of local people.
About 90 per cent of Citizen's Advice Bureau workers are volunteers, and most work as advisors, providing free, confidential, and impartial advice on subjects including housing and debt. Darlington Citizen's Advice Bureau manager David Garton said: "The challenge and variety that the CAB service offers, and the fact that involvement really does improve job prospects, are big attractions.
"Volunteering for the CAB offers a real chance to develop skills, knowledge and confidence, and volunteers can arrange their hours around other commitments."
