WE ARE STILL HERE; WE ARE STILL HELPING PEOPLE WITH PRIORITY ISSUES
The Government have now placed further Coronavirus restrictions BUT WE ARE STILL OPEN.
From 22nd March 2020, we have provided a service and helped over 7000 people with 10326 different issues. We have helped clients gain £3.7 million; this is money that in all likelihood is being reinvested in our communities. WE CAN HELP MANY MORE.

We are expecting high demand and would request that if you
can contact us by telephone or through our website then you should continue to
do so. This will be a quicker way of speaking to an adviser.
If you are experiencing symptoms associated with coronavirus
or are living with someone who is please do not attend any of our bureaux.
We will of course continue to follow government guidelines
and these arrangements will be subject to on-going review.

Meet Colin – Volunteer Generalist Adviser
2nd June 2020
Colin Scott- Volunteer Generalist Adviser at our Dumfries Bureau.
Why I Volunteer at DAGCAS?
“I was looking for something to do in my retirement and found CAS through Volunteer Action D & G. From the start I found working in the bureau most rewarding albeit often a challenge with some of the difficult enquiries we get but this is what makes the job so interesting. I get a sense of satisfaction when I can send a client away content and feeling better. I also get a sense of satisfaction from fully completing a record which at times can also be a challenge.
I enjoy the face to face work which makes our present situation frustrating. I also miss regular contact with all the people in the bureau who are always available to bounce ideas off. I always look forward to coming to work because that’s how I see it – a job where I get the chance to learn new skills and practice the skills I used in my previous life.”
