Citizens Advice Bureaux and credit unions are joining forces to bring more
face-to-face money advice and affordable financial services for consumers on low
incomes to some of the most deprived parts of the country.
The partnership, to be funded by Barclays, was announced by Citizens Advice
Director of Policy Teresa Perchard in a speech at a conference organised by
ABCUL at Barclays headquarters in Canary Wharf, London.
She explained: “Working closely with ABCUL and Barclays in this way is an
exciting opportunity to reach people in real need who would not normally seek
mainstream debt advice.
"They will be able to combine the benefits of free, impartial and expert money
advice with the budgeting, bill payment and other services offered through
credit unions to get their debt under control.”
