Joel James MS, Senedd Member for South Wales Central, has recently visited Citizens Advice Cardiff & Vale in Barry alongside his Welsh Conservative colleague, Dr Altaf Hussain MS.
During the visit, Joel and Altaf met with staff to learn more about CASEW – Citizens Advice South East Wales, a partnership of eight local Citizens Advice offices working together to improve access to advocacy and advice services across the region.
The partnership plays a vital role in supporting people across South East Wales with issues ranging from housing and debt to benefits and employment.
Speaking about the visit, Joel said:
It was great to recently visit Citizens Advice Cardiff & Vale in Barry with my Welsh Conservatives colleague Dr Altaf Hussain MS, and to learn more about CASEW – Citizens Advice South East Wales.
