Alan Breakwell, Chair of Trustees, Citizens Advice East Dorset & Purbeck, said: "Helen has been an inspirational lead for our organisation and will be very much missed by everyone at Citizens Advice.

"Her leadership, energy and commitment has helped guide the organisation through some very difficult times including covid, the cost-of-living crisis and the energy crisis."

Ms Goldsack said: "During my time with Citizens Advice, I’ve seen the organisation change, grow and adapt to meet the demands of the people we help and I have enjoyed the challenges this brings.

"I have really enjoyed my time working for Citizens Advice and will miss the team, but it’s now time for me to hand the reins over and enjoy retirement.”
