Crawley
Advice
Shop
Since it opened in September the Crawley Advice Shop in
County Mall has helped more than 1,900 people and lived
up to its slogan – a lot of help in a little shop.
The shop is managed by Citizens Advice and houses expert
advisers from a range of agencies including JobCentre Plus,
Business Link, Central Sussex College, Crawley Council for
Voluntary Service, West Sussex Credit Union and Relate, as
well as officers from Crawley Borough Council.
Here we take a look at four different services operating from
Crawley Advice Shop.
