The charity, which has offices in Lancaster and Morecambe and offers advice to people needing help, mainly around debt, benefits, housing, employment and family issues, is looking for friendly people who could help on reception from 10am to 2pm every week on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

"Due to the cost of living crisis, we are busier than ever," said Sarah Peters, volunteer coordinator. "Volunteering at Citizens Advice is a really rewarding activity and the team is very friendly too.

"If you're comfortable using a computer and want to help people, we'd love to hear from you. We also offer full training and lots of support so you're never on your own."

The charity relies on a combination of paid advisers and volunteers who last year saw more than 6,000 people in the district, advising them and helping to generate more than £7.8m for local residents.

The service is currently seeing very high demand and is seeking new volunteers to join across the district, including in Lancaster, from home and in Morecambe.
