Chiltern Citizens Advice Bureau To be presented by Emma Burgham, Chief Officer, Chilterns Citizens Advice Bureau. Minutes: Ms E Burgham, Chief Officer, Chilterns Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), highlighted the following:
· CAB Outreach provision had ceased during Covid-19. The team had been working from home providing advice by telephone or email and sometimes via video call. Face to face meetings had re-started in Chesham where needed. Meetings at the Methodist Church in Prestwood would re-start in the future; however, the Chequers surgery venue was too small to enable social distancing. · Covid-19 had resulted in a change in the type of advice provided; there had been a plateau in demand for debt advice, probably short term, perhaps because of payment holidays. · Support would be provided for those at risk of eviction, which usually occurred as a result of change in circumstance. · Support in accessing and managing universal credit claims. · The CAB was looking forward to working with the CB to help residents. Cllr Isobel Darby added that Wycombe Homeless Connection had just relaunched their legal advice service specifically for homelessness. They were able to share specialist advice with other areas for those at risk of illegal evictions. BC was working hard to prepare for a rise in homelessness when the eviction moratorium ended. |
