This week is Debt Awareness Week (18-24 March), and we are showing our support for the campaign by highlighting the free money guidance we offer to help you through a range of challenges.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or finding it tough to make ends meet, it is important to remember that you are not alone. Thousands of people from all walks of life can find themselves facing money difficulties for various reasons. Whatever the reason is, there is a way forward.
How we can help you get back on track
We know it can be difficult to ask for help, but please don’t wait until it is too late. If you need us, our dedicated Money Guidance team is ready with free, practical and confidential support that may offer the right solution.
In addition to our support with managing debt, we can help you claim any benefits you may be entitled, find the best deals to save money on the cost of running your home, provide smart budgeting advice, and support managing your tenancy.
Furthermore, if you are in need and willing to work with us, we may also be able to help towards food and energy bills.
