Our Impact
We help to:
- reduce levels of “social exclusion” and child poverty through increasing peoples incomes, their confidence and their ability to manage their own financial affairs
- reduce levels of anxiety, stress, depression and associated ill-health through helping people to resolve problems relating to low income, debt, employment, housing and relationships
- reduce homelessness and improve housing conditions through intervention in disputes between landlords and tenants and helping clients to manage housing debt and access improvement grants
- provide redress for clients who have experienced discrimination
- reduce the number of people entering the court system (and so incurring further debt) by negotiating between clients and creditors
- improve levels of financial literacy by helping clients learn to budget
- support older people and those with long-term illnesses and disabilities to access welfare benefits and community care advice
- support young people through advice and information on rights and responsibilities
- support local infrastructure through provision of a community service and volunteering opportunity, and
- contribute to national and local planning and policy-making by providing evidence collected in the course of our work.
