Who we are

The name Advice Space has been around for eight years, but our ethos and values are still based on our fifty+ year legacy as part of the Citizens Advice movement. Our focus is about helping people - no matter who they are - to exercise their rights and obtain fair treatment under the law.

Advice Space grew out of 'Citizens Advice Belfast' in 2018, taking the opportunity to rebrand and grow following the closure of Northern Ireland's regional support body for CABx. Since then, as part of the Advice NI family, it has evolved into a real success story for the community it serves in Belfast and beyond, with 36 staff and a turnover of more than £1.3m set to increase to over £2.2m this year and has a healthy unrestricted reserves that will ensure sustainability and help growth.
