Referrals to Citizens Advice Halton

Important Information

Unfortunately, we no longer receive funding from Halton Borough Council for a general advice service.  Because our services are now project-funded, we are ONLY able to accept referrals that meet the eligibility criteria for one or more of these projects.  We continue to provide support through targeted projects for individuals who:

  • Belong to a client group eligible for a specific project
  • Are experiencing key life events or changes
  • Need advice in specific areas of law or support
