Our people

Wiltshire Citizens Advice employs around 50 people and has the support of more than 50 volunteers.
 
Each year around 12,000 people turn to us for help and advice.
 
Our trustees, supporters, funders and partners are also essential to the success of our work.
 

Meet our Trustees

Our board of trustees is collectively responsible for the governance of the organisation and guides the direction and strategic management of Wiltshire Citizens Advice.
