Key takeaways

London Citizens Advice names London as its geographic focus, and its funding centres on advice services and advice training, so a London advice or community agency working in those areas is the clearest fit.
Neither the annual report nor its website publishes a grant range or an application process, and the annual report gave no readable grants figure, so there is no published guide to how much to ask for.
The only route given is the contact shown in the annual report, so get in touch first to ask whether it takes approaches before you prepare a full request.
Its described partnership approach, which funds 41 agencies, suggests a first conversation may count for more than a cold application, though its published material does not say how decisions are made.
