It was a pleasure to join the event Reading Council with our pop-up stand, connecting with their team and raising awareness of the support and advice available through Citizens Advice.

Events like these are a valuable opportunity to help people understand where they can turn when facing challenges, whether that’s with money, benefits, housing, employment or other everyday issues.

This felt especially timely as we marked World Mental Health Day (10 October) reminding us that access to advice as support can play an important role in easing everyday worries and protecting our mental health.

We’re proud to be part of a community working together to improve wellbeing and ensure people know that support is available when they need it. Need advice or support? Our team is here to help.

Looking back at Older Persons’ Day 2026
We had a great day at Broad Street Mall last week connecting with local residents, sharing information and raising awareness around issues that matter to our community.
Scam awareness was a key focus on the day, with all of our scam awareness leaflets taken and lots of useful conversations with attendees.
We also really enjoyed hearing from people who have used our services over the years, including some who remembered support they had received many years ago.
Thank you to everyone who came along to speak with us. We were delighted to be working alongside Age UK Berkshire (pictured with our outreach adviser, Oscar) and all the other fantastic organisations such as teams from Reading Council and the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust who made the day such a positive one. 🤝

Even on their summer holidays, our advisers can't keep away!

From our friends across the border at Inverness, Badenoch and Strathspey Citizens Advice, to Citizens Advice Mauritius, we've been finding offices all over the world. One of our supervisors even found an abandoned Citizens Advice office in the woods!

We hope you have discovered new places this summer but don’t forget we are in Minster Street in Reading if you want to come in and see us. Find out more here: https://www.citizensadvicereading.org/about-us/find-us

We’ve delivered another successful Advice First Aid training programme!

This time we visited the team at Whitley Community Development Association (WCDA). Training community volunteers in Advice First Aid allows them to act as a bridge to other support and services: they are able to spot advice issues, provide accurate and useful information and know how and when to signpost or refer to specialist advice providers. This means they are even more equipped to support people in their communities.
