We’re here to help
Your local Citizens Advice is here for you. Our Helpline provides support and expert advice on anything from dealing with a break-up, sorting out work problems, to checking your benefit entitlements. We may not be able to meet you face-to-face at the moment, but we are all here to help you and are waiting for your calls and emails.
Call us: Our friendly advisers will talk through your options. The helpline numbers are 0808 109 2056, 0808 800 0510 and 0808 800 0511 and we are here Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm (calls are free from landlines and most mobiles).

Are you an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen?
If you’re an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen, you and your family can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK. You can apply for either settled status (SS) or pre-settled status (pre-SS). The sooner you make your application the more likely you will be to receive pre-settled or settled status before the cut-off date of 1 July 2021.
There is no cost for the application.
You may be able to stay in the UK without applying – for example, if you’re an Irish citizen or have been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). Or if you have been in the UK since before 1988, you might choose to apply via the Windrush scheme.
Our EU Settlement Scheme Adviser - Mampo Guillet has many years' experience in helping people with immigration issues and is here to provide support to EU, EEA and Swiss citizens (and their non–EU family members) through information-giving, advice, and help in completing applications.
Please get in touch with Mampo either by email mampo.guillet@ca-scd.org.uk or by calling one of our freephone numbers 0808 109 2056, 0808 800 0510 or 0808 800 0511.
