The Norwich Community Money Advice Connect Centre has been established in response to increasing levels of debt and poverty in Norwich. We are affiliated with the national charity Community Money Advice.
Although the city has many great advice services, they are struggling to keep up with demand, and most can only offer formal advice and debt relief services. We aim to offer time, friendship and support to help with the mental and emotional strain of financial hardship, at the same time as helping to get financial help where necessary. For as long as it takes.
This Connect Centre provides the following services to clients in financial difficulty: face to face support, teaching how to manage a household budget; collecting and collating the client's financial information; referring and interfacing with regulated debt advice services; and signposting to other services.
Financial problems are about so much more than money. They can be damaging to health and relationships and can leave people feeling worthless and ashamed. They contribute to depression and even suicide.
