Community Advice - ‘Thriving Through Change’
The details were revealed at their annual general meeting at which they launched their 2018-19 Annual Report.
Area Manager, Lorraine Adamson, said: “To be part of an organisation that has gone through so much change and still delivered so overwhelmingly for clients, is something we are very proud of. We are the first within our sector in NI to have successfully supported a client as far as the UK Supreme Court; and first to have been shortlisted for the Investors in People Gold Employer of the Year Award.’

Hide AdGeraldine Haire, Chairperson of Community Advice Antrim & Newtownabbey, thanked the funders, including Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council; and also paid tribute to the Trustee Board, Staff and Volunteers.
She said: “The support of key funders in our rebranding from Citizens Advice to Community Advice was invaluable; the smooth transition enabled our focus to continue to be, as always, on those within our community in need of quality advice and advocacy, especially given the change many of them have had to go through as a result of Welfare Reform.”
