Debt Advice & Volunteering Opportunities
St Mary’s church and community centre have been providing face to face debt advice nearly three years and remains the only in person service readily available to our communities.
Living and struggling with debt can cause stress and anxiety, as well as shame. Many people are unable to talk about their problems with family and friends and find an independent, non-judgemental adviser easier to work alongside.
Each case is different and will require a different response. Some people’s situations can be dealt with quickly, while others may be more complex and take time. This will mean a commitment to finding a resolution from the client. You will be asked for some personal and sensitive information to help the advisers find the most effective way forward. This is really important, and we can help you gather what is needed. All our Debt Advisers are trained, and the service has to comply with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) so you can feel reassured your information is kept within strict confidential guidelines.
The Debt Advice Service accept referrals from organisation across the city. If you are interested or have a client you feel would benefit from our support please contact: [email protected]
