Debt advice day of action

As part of its campaign to #SaveDebtAdvice Unite is holding a day of action on Monday 13 March.

Unite highlights that -

Debt advice has never been more important as millions of households struggle, yet funding cuts threaten access to this service, and advisers’ jobs. Money is there to increase funding, but government refuses to make businesses pay to fix the problem they helped to create.

Funding from the Money & Pensions Service (MaPS) for the community-based debt advice services offered by Citizens Advice, Law Centres and others has been cut by over 20% in real terms compared to before the pandemic.
