Can we help you?
Our 22 trained volunteers cover a number of topics such as benefit entitlement, DLA and PIP applications, Universal Credit, employment rights, consumer rights and many more through our drop in sessions or scheduled appointments. We also have specialist caseworkers who help clients with debt problems on a longer term basis. Since 2010 we have been authorised by the Vale of White Horse District Council to verify original documents required for council tax or housing benefit applications.
Wantage Independent Advice Centre is licensed for debt counselling by the Financial Conduct Authority. At busy times we may operate a waiting list for new debt clients.
Advice Services are provided free of charge, however voluntary donations are always welcome.
We are a member of Advice UK and in the last financial year (April 19 – March 20) our volunteer advisors conducted 5,600 consultations with clients.
