Karin Smyth thanked staff and volunteers working at the city’s Citizens Advice service for providing her Bristol South constituents with a range of support and advice.
Speaking at a Parliamentary event, the Labour MP said: “Staff and volunteers at Bristol Citizens Advice provide free confidential and impartial advice to help local people from across our city resolve everyday problems and challenges by telephone and face-to-face.
“They work hard to deal day-in, day-out with issues including finances, employment and housing. They also help people develop the skills and confidence people need to help themselves.”
