CAB on Air is a monthly programme brought to you by Citizens Advice Bureau Christchurch Area – a non-profit organisation whose purpose is to ensure that no individual suffers from an ignorance of their rights and the services available to them. We want to inform Cantabrians of their rights on all the latest topics such as renting, employment and consumer issues as well as highlight some of the great community support services out there. Join Host Ronnie, supported by Producer Tom, two of our fantastic volunteers, on the first Monday of the month at 12.30pm on Plains Media or catch the podcast when it suits you and get informed!
