About our Bureau
Haddington CAB is here to offer free, impartial and confidential advice to East Lothian. We deliver support and guidance on a range of topics, giving people the information they need to deal with any situation and improve their lives. Please make an appointment to speak to one of our highly trained advisors.
Every year Haddington CAB works with over 2000 clients and helps resolve a range of issues. As a registered charity, we rely on donations and the work of our volunteers to continue to provide these important services.
We are open Monday to Friday. Phone lines are open from 9am to 5pm, and in bureau appointments are available between 10am and 4pm Monday to Thursday.
Please note that the building is not wheelchair friendly. Should you require a face to face appointment, and have any concerns about accessing our building please let us know this when you make an appointment. We will be happy to arrange another way to meet.
Aims and equality statement
We provide free, independent, impartial and confidential advice and information to ensure that people understand their rights and responsibilities and can express their needs effectively. We campaign and influence to tackle the root cause of the problems people face and work to strengthen their rights.
We believe that everyone should be treated with respect and dignity and that no client, job applicant, worker or volunteer should receive less favourable treatment than another on grounds of age, disability, gender, race, religion and belief, or sexual orientation.
We promote human rights and social justice and will not tolerate or practice unfair discrimination of any kind. We are committed to our obligations under the Equality Act 2010, and we extend these obligations to other aspects of equality such as socio-economic status, education, personality, social exclusion and communication style.
We value diversity and promote dignity and inclusion to strengthen our network and our service.
