“Good advice with a friendly attitude, many thanks.”

 

“Excellent. The people on the stands were very friendly, particularly as I am hard of hearing. I found it very interesting. Thank you, Citizens’ Advice, for bearing with me and for being very helpful.”

 

“Excellent information. Pensions advice and who to call.”

 

“Well done for organising.”

 

“A very useful Consumer Fair, with friendly, informative people at hand to give advice. I can see this event becoming a regular feature in the Island calendar. Well done.”

 

“Very valuable advice on how to shop around and the tricks supermarkets use and how to check what is public about one, re data protection.”

 

“Lots of information about essential topics. Very clear and helpful representatives. I have taken a lot on board and learnt a lot of valuable facts. Thank you.”

 

“Great idea to do this event rather than a black-tie posh party!”
