Apply now for right to remain in UK – Citizens Advice

17/11/2019

If you are a European Union citizen living or working in the UK, you might be wondering what will happen when the United Kingdom leaves the EU and what you should do so that you have the right to remain in this country.

The government has set up a programme called the EU Settlement Scheme which is intended for you. There is no charge for applying to this scheme. Citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland can also apply. It is important that you apply NOW, without waiting until the UK actually leaves. You can begin the process here: 

https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families/applying-for-settled-status

If your application is successful you will be able to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021. You will also have the right to work in the UK, use the National Health Service, get access to benefits and pensions if you are eligible, and travel in and out of the country.  There is more information about your rights on the government website.

The new deadline for the UK to leave the EU is 31 January 2020 but it is still unclear exactly how it will take place, especially in view of the general election in December.

If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, you will need to be living in the UK BEFORE it leaves the EU in order to apply.

Check the Citizens Advice website at:

https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/immigration/staying-in-the-uk-after-brexit 

South Oxfordshire District Council also has up-to-date advice on www.southoxon.gov.uk/brexit

You can visit Citizens Advice in person or call us on Adviceline (0300 330 9042). For locations of offices and opening hours see www.citizensadvice.org.uk/local/oxfordshire-south-vale

Our next exciting concert at Stonevale will be on Sunday, the 17th of Nov. We haven’t had Manus for a few years!  Some of you have been asking for a long time when we will get him back. At last!

Please be sure to reserve seats, as Manus’ concerts in the past were packed. 

Best wishes,

Urgent Neighbourhood Watch Alert

8/11/2019

0 Comments

 
Yesterday morning and afternoon (Friday 8th November), someone we believe to be a member of a group of car thieves and burglars whose activities are known to the police in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and most recently Shrivenham, has been surveying and photographing the village houses, drives, gardens and back gardens and even knocking on peoples' doors. Two questions that were asked were 'where is the vicar's house?' and 'is there a way out of the village at the lower end?'
 
As an urgent precaution please ensure cars, houses, sheds etc are kept locked whether or not you are at home; please look out windows and take photos and report anyone behaving suspiciously; and if you have neighbours not on this mailing list, please alert them.

Neighbourhood Watch Officer

Citizens Advice celebrates 80 years as vital service continues

27/10/2019

0 Comments

Volunteers and staff from Citizens Advice Oxfordshire South and Vale were joined by representatives from the town and district councils at the Guildhall in Abingdon on 15 October to celebrate 80 years of service to the local community. 

Citizens Advice was founded on 4 September 1939, the day after World War II was declared, to help people deal with the impact of war. Volunteers gave advice on evacuation, ration books, new housing for those whose homes had been bombed, and even provided recipes using the limited ingredients available on rationing.

Eighty years on, the issues may have changed, but the core values of Citizens Advice remain the same: to provide free, confidential and impartial advice to everyone everywhere. 

Last year, Citizens Advice Oxfordshire South and Vale, an independent charity, helped 11,999 people resolve 20,200 problems including debt, housing, Universal Credit, benefits, family problems and consumer issues. For many people this service is a lifeline.

Jon Bright, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice Oxfordshire South and Vale, said: “This service is only possible thanks to the dedication and commitment of our 160 highly trained volunteers who give up their time to help people in our community find a solution to their problems.” 
​
The number of people seeking advice has increased by 30 per cent over the last three years and the local offices need more volunteers to keep the service running. Volunteer posts include: advisers, receptionists, administrators, IT support and fundraisers. If you are interested, contact Citizens Advice Oxfordshire South and Vale for more information on 01235 550553 or email recruitment@osavcab.org.uk
 
Jane Richardson, Chair of Trustees, and Liz Johnson, Manager, ,shown above, celebrate 80 years of Citizens Advice
