Telephone our Advice Line: 08444 772232
Fareham and Gosport Citizen Advice Bureaux have teamed up to provide a combined telephone advice service. 

By having just 1 telephone number we are able to offer this service Monday - Friday 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.

This line is reliant on our volunteer advisers.  Please be aware that due to the large number of calls not all can be answered.

If an adviser is available you will  hear a brief recorded message informing you of the cost of your call - don't hang up - as you will then be connected to an adviser.

If there is not an adviser available
at the time of your call you will be connected to an automated advice line which is available 24 hours a day.

If you stay on the line you will be offered options to listen to information on:
money problems
benefits / cash help
employment advice
discrimination
education
legal matters
family / personal / health issues
consumer + travel
housing / homelessness
Please be aware that calls cost 5p per minute from BT landlines and mobile charges will vary.

This service is only available when no adviser is available.
