This could involve working with one of the Citizens Advice Bureaux in Wirral, giving information to the public on benefits, employment issues, housing, etc.  CAB work involves 4-6 months training and a minimum of six hours per week commitment.  If you are not able to offer such a commitment, there are also opportunities for advice work in other settings, for example, working at community drop-in centres, women's centres, with the elderly or at hospital information points.

Advocacy involved acting on behalf of someone who has difficulty expressing their needs or getting their views heard.  You may be involved in writing letters or making phone calls to clients or accompanying them to meetings, tribunals, etc. Following training, there are opportunities for volunteers to work with children, older people, people with disabilities or mental health difficulties.
