How is StartHere different from the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB)?
The CAB gives advice to citizens; StartHere does not give advice but aims to connect people to the agencies best equipped to deal with the problem in hand. The CAB provide face to face services, StartHere does not. The CAB focuses mainly on financial and housing rights and benefits. StartHere covers a much broader range of subjects. StartHere’s unique interactive software programme acts as an intelligent mapping system for citizens needing information and support.
