We help people find a way forward
We can all face problems that seem complicated or intimidating. At Citizens Advice we believe no one should have to face these problems without good quality, independent advice. That’s why we’re here: to give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.
We are an independent charity and a member of Citizens Advice, one of the UK’s largest voluntary organisations. We have a track record of practical commitment to diversity, promoting equality and challenging discrimination. Citizens Advice Brent is equally committed to maintaining quality standards, innovation and developing services that meet the needs and preferences of the local community.

At Citizens Advice Brent, we acknowledge life’s intricate challenges and believe that no one should confront them without access to expert guidance.
