For Rutland was launched in June 2014 as a fundraising group of Citizens Advice Rutland, generating funds specifically to pay for specialist advisers providing non-medical advice to people of all ages with long-term health conditions in Rutland and the surrounding community. 

Reducing stress and improving wellbeing by sorting out problems on housing, employment, relationship, debt and income is particularly important to those also having to cope with a long-term medical condition. 

Since FOR RUTLAND started, the specialist advisers have been able to secure £5.7m for clients. 

Demand for the service has far outweighed our expectations and with an ageing population will continue to grow, so our funding is even more vital than before.
