Impact areas
Coventry has higher-than-average levels of deprivation. Clients struggle with lack of confidence and practical barriers to improving their finances. Many do not understand their finances, how to budget, what bills they should be paying, how to deal with debt, what benefits they are entitled to etc. This can severely impact their mental health and wellbeing and their ability to support their dependents. The situation can seem hopeless and many people bury their head in the sand.
We support people through drop-in centres and home visits, providing personalised help and advice on their finances. We provide holistic, tailored support for each client, working patiently to understand their finances, meet immediate needs, and find the best long-term option for them to become debt free + manage their money better. We also provide friendship and community to improve clients' mental health. We continue to support after clients become debt free, so the help is sustainable.
