20,000+
We’ve helped more than 20,000 people become debt free since 2010 

The budget CAP set for me gave me a plan of attack for managing my money in the future. Now instead of spiralling down, I’m spiralling up!

14.4 million people in the UK are living in poverty

Poverty is so much more than going without. Poverty destroys lives. It robs people of joy, hope, and opportunities. It tears families apart, isolates those most in need of support, and leads many to believe there is no way out.

Join us in calling for the leaders of all major UK parties to put poverty back on the agenda ahead of the general election.

We believe everyone should experience equal dignity, freedom and opportunity. Poverty robs far too many people of life in all its fullness. Will you play your part and take action to improve our society?
