NCVO free debt advice service in partnership with Consumer Credit

NCVO and Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) have launched a
new partnership to provide debt advice and solutions for all NCVO
member organisations employees, volunteers and beneficiaries.

With 30% of the working population struggling to repay their debts,
and living costs continuing to rise, an increasing number of companies
are offering debt solutions. The constant advertisement of
fee-charging organisations makes it difficult for individuals -
already overwhelmed by the pressure of trying to meet their financial
commitments - to make the right choice.

NCVO is working with CCCS because it can deliver the high quality
services that NCVO demands for its member organisations.

If you are an organisation concerned that 30% of your employees could
be struggling financially, then you can establish a direct partnership
with CCCS to facilitate provision of debt solutions to your employees
and beneficiaries at their moment of greatest need.
