Our History
Citizens Advice services have been delivered in Doncaster Borough for over 50 years.
Citizens Advice Doncaster Borough exists to provide free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to everyone on their rights and responsibilities. We offer the advice people need for the problems they face today and seek to improve the policies and practices that affect people’s lives through research and campaigning. We work both on local issues and as part of a wider national network. We value diversity, promote equality and challenge discrimination.
Since the merger of Mexborough & District CAB and North East Doncaster CAB in 2017 we now offer a more strategically focused approach to holistic advice provision across the whole Doncaster Borough. During this time we have strengthened our relationships with stakeholders and local communities, we are better positioned to respond to community needs and the requests of DMBC. Our closer working relationship has allowed us to resolve issues earlier and with better outcomes than in the past. The mutual support provided feeds into not only our own service goals but wider service delivery goals.
