Debt and Money Advice
This service provides money advice, financial education and income maximisation to people impacted by debt.
With this project we aim to enable people to make more informed choices, and to better understand their financial position and the options available to them.
We will provide you with a financial health check, which together with the production of a personalised budget planner, referral to a local credit union ensures that you can better understand and make use of your maximised income.

Child Care Caseworker
Our childcare caseworkers provide advice and guidance on the various types of childcare options available; they can help find the right childcare service to suit your time requirements for training and employment, and offer financial support towards initial costs.
Part of the role of the childcare caseworker is to establish a network of approved childminders, nurseries and out-of-school provisions to ensure that the childcare we recommend is appropriate to each client. We act as a link between you and the childcare provider, organising a settling in visit and ensuring everything is in place.

This continued support helps sustain meaningful employment by offering advice and guidance on probationary periods, contracts, tax credits, in-work benefits, and by supporting you to move jobs and progress your career.
