Supporting the people of Hastings and Rother
Citizens Advice 1066 provides advice over the telephone and face-to-face by appointment.
If you need our help you can telephone a local call-back advice line on 01424 869352 and give your details and a brief description of your enquiry. Or you can email us by clicking on this link. For specialist energy advice please call 0800 145 6879.
We are experiencing very high demand for our help but will get back to you as soon as we can, usually within 5 working days. We will prioritise urgent cases - please let us know the reason for the urgency.
We have brought together information on this page about financial and other support, both local and national, so you can contact services direct. Our advisers can also help you access these grants and services if you need support.
See below for our Keep Warm and Well leaflet for information on the risks of living in a cold home and the support available to keep warm.
Alternatively, you can telephone our national advice line on 0800 144 8848. Our national website also has information on the full range of issues we can help with. You can access this by clicking this link.
