An all-new Citizens Advice service has opened its doors in Pinderfields Hospital, Wakefield, following an official opening from the Trust’s Chief Executive, Len Richards, and Director of Workforce and Organisational Development, Phillip Marshall, alongside Simon Topham, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice Wakefield District and Pete Hudson, Outreach and Training Manager at Citizens Advice.

The new office, located on Level E at Pinderfields, will serve as a community support hub, providing free, confidential, and impartial advice for both NHS and social care staff, alongside hospital patients, visitors, and local people across the Wakefield district.

The service will provide both drop-in sessions and scheduled appointments for advice on housing, debt, benefits, family, and consumer issues. Individuals can also access support via the phone, email or online.

Len Richards, Chief Executive of the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, said: “I’m delighted to be officially opening the Citizens Advice service, here today at Pinderfields.

“Having this service onsite will really benefit not only our staff, but also allows local people and families within the community to access guidance and support on a wide range of areas.”

Simon Topham, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice Wakefield District, said: “Our staff and volunteers are really looking forward to welcoming visitors to the new office at Pinderfields Hospital.

“No-one should have to face problems in their life alone, and Citizens Advice provide much-needed, completely impartial support to residents across the district, so it's a pleasure to open the new service today."
