The CABs in Falkirk, Grangemouth and Bo’ness and Denny and Dunipace may not be offering face to face advice but they are still dealing with enquiries.

Due to the Government guidelines, face to face advice is not possible at the bureaux or outreach clinics, however residents can seek advice and support through email and telephone directly from their local CAB office.

Providing advice this way, enables people to access valuable support and advice, while keeping the staff, volunteers and community safe.
