Citizens Advice in East Dorset & Purbeck is opening an additional drop-in session in Wimborne due to increased demand.
Citizens Advice in East Dorset & Purbeck helped over 5,600 residents in the last financial year (2024-25) with over 28,500 issues.
The cost of living crisis has seen more individuals seeking assistance, particularly with debt and energy advice, alongside benefits.
Ros Dignan, head of advice services at Citizens Advice in East Dorset & Purbeck, said: "We are experiencing an increase in demand for our services.
"As a result, and to cope with demand, we are increasing our Wimborne advice session from two to three sessions a week."
Starting from Friday, November 14, the Wimborne office on Hanham Road will be open for drop-ins from 10am until 12pm.
Ms Dignan added: "Our new Friday drop-in session will be a general advice service, but we also have specialist advisers who may be able to assist, including energy and debt specialists."
