Our projects

On-site Projects

Debt advice

This service focuses on complex debt issues and advice in addition to that offered by the core service. For example, we offer help navigating the requirements of various creditors.

Immigration

The Immigration Team provides free specialist advice, casework, and representation on immigration issues.  The majority of cases are family applications, registrations, overstayers and applications for travel and citizenship. Outside of immigration rules, they help refugees and others apply for indefinite leave to remain. This service is funded by City Bridge Foundation.

Outreach Services

Trussell Foodbanks

With the higher aim of tackling the root causes of food poverty and financial insecurity, we run an advice service from Chipping Barnet Foodbank, Muswell Hill Foodbank and Colindale Foodbank. A Citizens Advice Barnet Outreach Adviser is on site when these foodbanks are open. In addition to advice from CAB, following a needs assessment, the foodbanks are also able to provide supermarket and fuel vouchers, sim cards, and home delivery of food parcels. 

To access our advice service at these foodbanks, you need to be a foodbank visitor and have a foodbank voucher. Find out how to get a foodbank voucher here or call 0808 2082138.

Funding for this project is provided by Trussell. 

Macmillan Welfare Benefits Project

The Macmillan project delivers welfare benefits rights information and advice to people affected by cancer across Barnet, Enfield, and Haringey. The advice is delivered at select hospitals, by telephone and virtually. 

We provide assistance with benefits-related matters including checking eligibility, applying for benefits, form filling, and challenges and appeals if a benefit decision is refused. We help with applications for both the Blue Badge and Disabled Person’s Freedom Pass. We can also assist with challenges if a decision has been refused. 

Since 27th March we are no longer able to take any new referrals. The referral form on this website has been closed and the Barnet Macmillan telephone line has the same message.

If you need further support please contact the national Macmillan Support Line on 0808 808 00 00. See further contact details here.
