Friends of Rother Citizens' Advice Bureau - June 13

AT the recent annual meeting of the Friends of Rother Citizens' Advice Bureau, Tony Crouch was elected chairman, Clive Loader treasurer and Babs Helps as secretary.

Tributes were paid to Jill Loader who tragically died earlier this year because of all her hard work both as past manager of the Citizens' Advice Bureau and also an active supporter of the Friends' committee which had enabled the work of the bureau to have grown from strength to strength over the past few years.

However in the past 12 months the Rother offices had once again had to move position in the town and were now relocated to the Community Hub in Town Hall Square and this had been a costly time.

The Friends' committee who raise money specifically for extra items for specialist items for the bureau and not core costs had been glad to make donations towards the move and the setting up and fitting out of various items within the offices to help the volunteers with their work.

Our fund-raising events include yearly collections outside Sainsbury's, book stalls at summer fetes to support the outreach work of CAB and an annual quiz but as with many groups we would welcome new members to join the committee.

If you would like to become a FRIEND to CAB or have time to help with some fundraising please contact our membership secretary on 01424 218165.
