At Cheshire East Citizens Advice Bureau North we can help you sort out your money, legal and other problems. We can give you free, confidential, impartial and independent information and advice on a wide range of subjects to everybody regardless of age, race, religion, gender, disability or sexuality. And it’s not just advice. We campaign for change using your experiences to influence local and national policymakers and service providers to improve policies and services which aren’t working.

Cheshire East Citizens Advice Bureau North is a member of the national charity Citizens Advice An external link opening in a new window., which produces and updates AdviserNet (the web-based system we use to advise clients) and sets quality standards for our advice, training, equal opportunities and accessibility in the bureau.

We are an accredited, Quality Marked partner of the Community Legal Service.

Please note this service is intended for people who live or work within the northern part of Cheshire East that used to be the Borough of Macclesfield. If you do not live in the area we cover, you can search for the contact details of your local CAB here An external link opening in a new window.

Aims and principles

The Citizens Advice service aims

  • to ensure that individuals do not suffer through lack of knowledge of their rights and responsibilities or of the services available to them, or through an inability to express their needs effectively;

    and equally
  • to exercise a responsible influence on the development of social policies and services, both locally and nationally.

Advice provided by the Citizens Advice service is free, independent, confidential, and impartial, and available to everyone regardless of age, race, religion, sex, disability, sexuality or nationality.
