I have been a member of the Rural CAB for some 12 years, I have attended 9 AGM’s.
Today’s meeting in Chatteris was attended by around 40 or so Councillors, Supporters and Staff Members.
Along with myself, Cllr Kay Mayor attended, along with FDC Cllr Miscandlon and Ex Cllr David Mason.
Surprising that the newly elected Whittlesey Town Council representative was not present?.
Newly elected Neil McKittrick presented an excellent overview of the achievements and challenges ongoing on delivering the service.
Here in Whittlesey our Town Council support the CAB by making an annual donation, they in turn carry out Face-to-Face interviews here in Whittlesey (most) Fridays.
The best way is to go through the triage system to get an appointment.

On occasions there maybe a walk in on demand but this is rare.
Last year our CAB obtained ten’s of thousands of ££££ in various benifits to our local residents.
You have to live within the Whittlesey catchment area to be eligible to use the service.
