A merger between Citizens Advice Rossendale and Hyndburn and Burnley and Pendle ensures East Lancashire residents can receive help and assistance local to them.
Chief Executive David Oglaza said: “We now have 46 staff and 27 volunteers. By merging, it means that we are able to apply for more funding to help more people across a wider area. As Rossendale and Hyndburn, annually around 6,000 people would access our services. As CAEL we will serve 15,000 people and bring in around £4m extra income into the community.“There used to be a lot of duplication across the services.
“In some areas of East Lancashire, we have large Asian and Eastern European communities, as well as refugees and asylum seekers; it is important that everyone can access our service at the first point of contact for whatever their issue is.CAEL has a National Lottery funded Crisis Support and Recovery Project led by Lorraine Marshall.
