A new project 'Sick of Being Skint' has recently started to help residents of Pendle, Blackburn with Darwen and Rossendale to become more financially resilient and provide practical support with any finance issues. Support can be to ensure customers are receiving the correct benefits and income as well as how to negotiate a fair deal with any debtors. Their friendly and helpful advisors can also signpost to other appropriate services if needed. For more information visit Newground Together's website: https://www.newgroundtogether.co.uk/projects/sick-of-being-skint/
