CONTEXT

Administrative/Biographical history:

Staines and District Citizens' Advice Bureau opened on 30 October 1967. The first aim of Citizens' Advice Bureaux is to provide information and advice to individuals so that they do not suffer through ignorance of their rights or an inability to express their wishes or complaints.
