Advice Quality Standard logo

Coventry Independent Advice Service is a charity offering free advice, information and support to Coventry residents.  We hold the Advice Quality Standard, a national quality mark for organisations providing free, independent advice to members of the public. 

Our service is confidential and our skilled advisers can help you with things like:

  • Identifying entitlement to benefits and helping you make claims
  • Helping you to sort out debt or other money problems
  • Challenging decisions on benefit claims
  • Giving basic advice and information about housing and other issues
  • Helping you find other kinds of support.

If you need help and advice:

  • Check our self-help page for links to online information resources and details of other services in Coventry.
  • Ask us for advice at any time by using our online enquiry form.
  • Telephone us on 024 7652 1100. Lines are open:
    • Monday, Tuesday and Friday: 10.00 to 12.00 and 2.00 to 4.00
    • Wednesday and Thursday: 10.00 to 12.00
    • Saturday & Sunday: we are closed (but you can still send an online enquiry)
  • Chat with us using the ‘live chat’ feature on this website (when available)
  • General (non-advice) enquiries can also be made by telephone or by email to info@covadvice.org.uk.

Your adviser was so nice and understanding and made me feel comfortable from the start. At a time when I was feeling quite down she made me feel like there was hope.
