AN service providing free impartial advice services has seen a rise in demand.
The Advice Derbyshire helpline, a lottery funded service, is run by the Citizens Advice Bureau, Chesterfield Law Centre and Derbyshire Unemployed Workers Centre.
Adviceline Manager, Maxine Pearson said: “We are dealing with a wide range of issues from money and debt issues as Christmas approaches, employment and redundancy, to those who have been turned down for benefits due to the changes to the welfare system as the government introduces the Universal Credit.”
To date more than 7,000 people have been assisted by the service.
