Extended Hours service for Wyre residents:
New Service...
Local residents can call 01253 775196 and speak to someone who can help them access the right help and be directed to the most relevant organisation.
New local Extended Hours service with the lines being open:
- 4.30pm - 7:00pm, Monday to Friday
- 9:00am - 1:00pm Saturday and Sunday.
We can help with issues around benefits, housing and relationships. We also offer debt support, help if you are struggling to pay your energy bills and can make referrals to local food banks.
We can also refer you to Wyre Council for help with assisted bin collections, council tax support, discretionary housing payments and any other council related issues.
Coronavirus Update:
It is with great regret that we have had to suspend all our appointment & drop-in services. However, if you need our help, we are doing everything possible to maintain our support in these difficult times.
We have therefore increased our resources for telephone and email services. As you can imagine our phone lines are very busy and it may prove difficult to connect without holding for an extended period.
If you wish to email us, please go to the tab above and select ‘More From Us’ , the list that will drop down includes the option of email advice (‘Advice By Email’).
Alternatively, you can click on the following button to use this option Advice by Email
Please select an option and complete your details there. Please include as much information about the matter you need assistance with. We will contact you as quickly as possible. This is the fastest way to get to us and the help you require.
If you are calling on our Adviceline you will be given the option to leave a voicemail message which again will avoid the need to hold on the line. We will again contact you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and support.

Are you experiencing financial difficulties?
Citizens Advice Lancashire Lancashire West is modifying the service provided in the Garstang area to support local residents experiencing financial difficulties.
The free service offered is totally confidential and advice is completely impartial.
Due to the complexities surrounding debt related matters, appointments will need to be booked in advance; initially one day per month will be held at a town centre location.
A Citizens Advice representative will be available to provide one to one advice and present the options available to deal with financial difficulties.
The service will cater for people with personal debt issues; unfortunately this does not extend to those experiencing business debts.
Further information can be found on the Citizens Advice Website.
Anyone who would like to book an appointment should contact 0808 278 7880.
