Fixing real world problems

Research & Campaign

At Citizens Advice Sandwell and Walsall, we are committed to not only giving people the advice they need, but also to improving the lives of everyone in our communities.

To help us research issues further we collect real-time information on the problems that our clients, their friends and families are facing. We identify trends and then target our research and support further, looking at geographical areas, community make up, ethnicity, gender, age and disability, which support us to identify problems to campaign for positive changes that can benefit everybody, and not just people who come in to us.
