Tonight the Maroondah Citizens Advice Bureau held its Annual General Meeting to report back to members and to elect a committee for the following twelve months.

The Maroondah Citizens Advise Bureau provides assistance, such as food and advice, for people in need and works extensively with a number of other charitable organisations. The Citizens Advice Bureau provides crucial support for some of Maroondah’s most vulnerable residents.

I was co-opted onto the managing committee during the middle of last year and am pleased to have been elected onto the committee for the next twelve months. The Citizens Advice Bureau like many voluntary organisations is facing challenges in recruiting new volunteers and it is essential that community awareness increases as the Citizens Advice Bureau enters its 40th year.
