This week is Debt Awareness Week. Around 3.3 million people in the UK are in severe problem debt, with 9.3 million people in moderate financial difficulty.
This week is all about encouraging people to open up and access the support they need. Anyone can fall into debt for all kinds of reasons. There is nothing to be ashamed of.
If you are struggling with debt, our Welfare Benefits team can connect you with services such as StepChange and Norris Green Debt Advice who offer free advice and support to help you deal with your debts. Our welfare advice line is open from 9am-1pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. To get in touch with a member of the team, call us on 0330 303 2222 and select option 7 when prompted.
