Money Matters in North Somerset

If you're worried about debt or just want to know how to manage your money better, then you've come to the right place! Churches across North Somerset have joined together with national charities, Stewardship Services and CCCS to offer completely FREE, confidential counselling and support for those who are struggling with money.

We have more than 20 trained coaches across the county who are available to meet with you, talk through your current financial situation, and assist you in taking steps to gain control of your finances.

How we can help?

> An opportunity for you to sit down with a trained Personal Budget Coach, discuss your needs and goals, and draft a household budget, you can then determine whether you require ongoing support

> 4-week group training sessions, which we hold regularly, allowing you to take home some helpful knowledge and techniques.

If you're struggling with debt, we'll support you as you make the decisions to become debt free. Typically, we work with national charity Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS), but we also work with other local and national charities. Again, none of these charities will make charges for their services.

Whatever your needs, we'll stick with you until you're back in control.
