What will you be doing?

Citizens Advice Flintshire (CAF) is a registered charity with our own board of trustees who are responsible for deciding how Citizens Advice Flintshire is run.

At CAF we are committed to providing high quality services to meet the advice needs of as many people as possible, especially those from the most disadvantaged communities, as well as campaigning for changes to laws that will positively affect everyone.

We are a trusted institution that people turn to in times of need and we are committed to making that as a charity, we are the best we can be!

We currently have an active board of ten Trustees and following the resignation of our Treasurer, we are seeking to fill this role.

During 2024/2025 CAF helped 7,438 people with over thirty thousand advice issues.

We’re proud of that achievement and know it was only possible because of the huge commitment shown by our staff, volunteers and trustees.

We're excited that you want to be part of our board to help us continue to grow and develop a range of advice services to meet the needs of our community.
