Community Advice Fermanagh

As many of you may not know Citizen's Advice is no longer in Northern Ireland since 2018. We are now an independent charity now named Community Advice Fermanagh.

Currently we receive funding from the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and the Department of Communities however as an independent charity this funding does not cover all of running costs therefore we have to fundraise for the service.

Our staff team and some Board members are participating in this years Belfast Marathon's 8 Mile walk to raise vital funds for the service. The team have to complete the 8 Mile walk in under 2 hours 30 minutes.

In the last year alone we helped nearly 12,000 clients across Fermanagh and have increased financial maximisation across the county by over £1.1 million.

Our service is vital within the County and have advised clients on but not exclusive to social security benefits, the move to universal credit, employment, housing, pensions, consumer, debt and cross border issues. We are the only advice service in County Fermanagh that is free and accessible to all citizens across the County.

The organisation appreciates any donation towards our fundraiser and this will go towards the ongoing running of the service which is crucial within the County of Fermanagh.
