Spot Scams logo

May 2013 is Scams Awareness month. Citizens Advice and the Trading Standards service have teamed up to raise awareness of this menace, help consumers to protect themselves and fight back against the scammers.

You can find information on how to spot a scam, and what to do if you spot one or have been scammed yourself on the Citizens Advice website.

Free Computer Access for claiming benefits

Monday, 13 May 2013 07:24

This April has seen the start of some social security benefits being claimed only through an online claim. We thought that we would take the opportunity of promoting UK Online centres that provide computers free for public use, and in many cases also offer free courses to improve computer skills. You can find UK Online centres near to you on their website just by entering your post code. - UK Online website

Sheffield's Libraries also provide bookable free computer access to library members - see the Council website which also has library opening times.

You can obviously do other things with computer access, such as finding information that may help you sort out a query yourself without needing to see an adviser. We recommend the Advice Sheffield website, and the CAB Advice Guide website.

Face-to-face Debt Advice

Our Face-to-face Debt Advice Project is part of a partnership with the Money Advice Service and Citizens Advice aimed at increasing the provision of free face-to-face debt advice in England and Wales.

As part of this project Sheffield CAB Debt Support Unit trains, manages and supports face-to-face debt advisers across a number of Sheffield's advice centres and Citizens Advice Bureaux.
