Gateshead Health has held close working ties with Citizens Advice Gateshead in recent years. Though our formal partnership has now ended, we continue to signpost to Citzens Advice offices as a provider of independent advice across a wide range of issues including employment rights, financial planning and benefits.

During their time as partners, Citizens Advice helped more than 100 #TeamGateshead colleagues to access over £150,000 per year of additional income through access to benefits not previously accessed. Moreover, the service helped many colleagues with a number of different issues across areas including housing, employment issues, legal cases and more.

Here, we highlight some of the ways your local Citizens Advice office could help you.
