Citizens Advice

At their final full meeting of 2022, members of Dorchester Town Council received a presentation from Daniel Cadisch, chief officer of Citizen's Advice (CA) on the work undertaken by the organisation in the past year and the challenges that were now being faced in respect of the cost of living crisis.

Mr Cadisch responded to members' detailed questions and it was noted that CA was encouraging the Credit Union to go back to having face-to-face interviews rather than online only.

Councillors thanked Mr Cadisch and thanked the CA staff for the valuable work they had undertaken through the COVID pandemic and now the cost of living crisis.
