Debt Awareness Week - 18 to 24 March 2024
This year is the 10th anniversary of our annual Debt Awareness Weeks. Each year, we shine a spotlight on the causes for problem debt and the issues our clients are dealing with.

We have been helping people deal with debt problems for over 30 years. We know that it can be hard to take the first step, for many reasons.

This year we are looking at the main barriers to getting debt advice
We know that many people can take too long to get the help they need because they:

Don’t understand what debt advice is and how it works
Are dealing with anxiety, stress or a mental health condition
Are worried about my credit file
Never have enough time to get debt advice
Feel ashamed and do not want their loved ones to find out
Find out how we can break down these barriers together 👇
