New research: In-person debt advice

Name: Christians Against Poverty UK
Price range: $

11 April 2025

Exploring the role that in-person financial advice plays in the UK.

18% of UK adults have debt that they are struggling to repay.
7% of UK adults have borrowed money to pay for their regular food shop.
26% of UK adults are not currently receiving debt advice but they say they would find it helpful.

Millions of people across the UK are facing debt they don’t know how to repay. But not everyone knows that there is free help available.
