About Drumchapel CAB

Drumchapel Citizens Advice Bureau provides free, impartial and confidential advice to people across Glasgow. We help local residents resolve issues around welfare benefits, debt, housing, employment and more — empowering individuals and improving quality of life in our community.

• Free training and development in charity governance and leadership
• The chance to meet new people and expand your professional network
• Experience of strategic decision-making within a respected local charity
