She's one of 21,000 volunteers who give up their free time to offer confidential, impartial, and independent advice and information on a wide range of subjects.</p> <p>"It was a revelation when I realised we're doing exactly what Google does" Madge explained. "So if we're busy, I pop my head out of my office, give a smile at everyone in the crowded waiting room, and I tell them it would be quicker if they just Google it. The effect is magical. Most of them go away."</p> <p>This highly effective campaign means the Bureau is now able to operate 24/7. The 'Just Google It!' advice is available for free, over the phone, in leaflets and on the front door when the centres are shut.</p> <p>But what about those who don't have access to a computer? "PCs are available for use in public libraries," advises Madge.</p> <p>"And if they don't know where their public library is, well they can just Google it." </p>
