How Citizens Advice Stroud and Cotswold Districts work


Citizens Advice Stroud and Cotswold Districts Ltd (CASCD) is a local charity which operates in Stroud under the name of Citizens Advice Stroud District and in the Cotswolds as Citizens Advice Cotswold District.


Our charity was established in 1958 in Stroud and took over responsibility for the service in the Cotswolds in December 2013.

As a local, independent charity, we are members of a national network which collectively is the Citizens Advice Service.


We help people to resolve their legal, financial and other problems by providing information and advice and by influencing policymakers.

We also provide a range of specialist casework and targeted services including debt and energy issues.

The service is free, confidential, impartial and independent. It is open to everyone.

Almost half of the population will use a Citizens Advice service at some time and we are the largest provider of debt and money advice.


Overview of Citizens Advice


The Citizens Advice service is made up of Citizens Advice - the national charity - and a network of around 260 local Citizens Advice members.

This role sits our network of independent charities, delivering services from:

  • over 260 local Citizens Advice outlets
- over 2,500 locations including community centres, GP surgeries and prisons

They do this with:

  • 8,650 local staff
- over 16,000 trained volunteers


Our reach means 99% of people in England and Wales can access a local Citizens Advice within a 30 minute drive of where they live.
