Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council announced in March 2026 that it will provide £201,000 in yearly funding to Citizens Advice Basingstoke for the next two years. This money ensures that residents across Basingstoke, Hampshire, can continue to access free and confidential help with money worries, housing issues, and other personal challenges.
The funding is provided through the council’s strategic partner grants programme, which helps local organisations provide essential services to the public. This specific grant will support core advice work, ensuring that the charity’s team can continue to offer impartial guidance on rights and responsibilities to anyone in the community who needs it.
This annual award is part of a larger £1.2 million investment from the council to support various community and voluntary groups in the local area over the coming year. These partnerships are designed to make sure expert help remains available for all members of the community, particularly for those facing financial hardship or housing insecurity.
