Many people experience problems with their finances in one way or another over their lifetime. This can be for many reasons. The most important thing to do is to get help.
Debt advice work is life changing. It’s not just about money, it is about enabling people to escape from circumstances that have blighted their lives.
Debt can cause the breakdown of relationships, ill-health, homelessness, depression, fear, anger and shame. It can also potentially lead to serious addiction problems and even suicide.
County Durham Money Advice Centre offer a free face-to-face, non-judgemental, confidential service for anyone struggling with financial issues, debt or managing their money. We offer appointments at a number of foodbank centres across the county, for details of opening times and venues, please see the list below. We can also advise by telephone. In special circumstances we can arrange home visits. Our advisers will work with you in a method which you feel most the comfortable.
We are also pleased to advise that Louise is now available to provide support with benefit advice, budgeting guidance, and access to food vouchers. She is currently delivering drop-in sessions every Monday in Durham City, every Monday and Wednesday in Consett, and every Tuesday in Annfield Plain, offering confidential and practical assistance to those who require it.
CDMAC is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority and all advice is completely free, unconditional and confidential.
