Yeovil MP David Laws is to take an active role in organising a Citizens Advice Bureau home service following a bumper lottery grant.
News broke this week that South Somerset CAB has been awarded a Community Fund Grant of £129,947.
The money will be used to set up a home visiting service for the elderly, the housebound and others unable to visit CAB offices.
Mr Laws is meeting with the organisation's manager Monica Carrier and chairman Arthur Thring today (August 1st) to offer his congratulations and discuss how to set up the service.

"The Citizens Advice Bureau does a fantastic job in advising people on how to deal with legal problems or public bodies.
"It is important that it extends this help to some of the most excluded in our community - those who find it difficult to leave their homes.
"I know from first hand experience how useful the CAB's professional advice can be and I hope that this grant enables the CAB to go out and help those who have been unable to contact the CAB themselves."
