Ever wondered who supports witnesses at court? Have an interest in supporting people at a difficult time? Want to gain experience in a court environment?
As part of the Big Help Out, we are holding information sessions to talk about how volunteers support Citizens Advice Witness Service. Our volunteers provide practical information and emotional support to all witnesses who attend either Crown or Magistrates courts.

About Citizens Advice Witness Service
Giving evidence as a witness can be daunting and the court process can be complicated and difficult to understand. The Citizens Advice Witness Service provides free and independent support for both prosecution and defence witnesses in every criminal court in England and Wales.
Our trained volunteers provide practical information about the court process as well as emotional support to help witnesses feel more confident when giving evidence.
Our volunteers come from a range of backgrounds and we particularly welcome applications from people with physical or mental health conditions, and people from Black Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) and LGBT+ communities. We are committed to offering a welcoming and inclusive environment to witnesses, staff, and volunteers.
