Ethan Dighton, former Citizens Advice Swale trustee, said:
“I joined Citizens Advice Swale as a Trustee whilst I was an undergraduate law student. At the time, I was looking for extracurricular experiences and opportunities that were less common so as to help me to stand out during applications for paid positions.
I was a Trustee from January 2021-November 2023 during which time I held many roles: Chair of the Research & Campaigns Team; interim Chair of the Strategy & Performance sub-committee; and, finally, Vice-Chair of the Board of Trustees.
My time at Citizens Advice Swale gave me a wealth of experience dealing with a variety of issues, from strategy, to campaigning, to finance.”
