A Day in the Life: #CABlive
In March 2012 we joined with 17 other CABs around the country to tweet as much about what we do in an average day as possible using the hashtag #CABlive.
Below is a list of everything we Tweeted that day. This is still only a part of what we do as we weren't always able to get information from our many outreaches and busy advisers but we hope it gives you an idea of the range and amount of enquiries we deal with all year round.
