Debt Centre Greenwich

Debt Centre Greenwich is a UK nonprofit organisation focused on providing free debt advice and support to residents throughout the borough of Greenwich. It operates as part of the Community Chaplaincy Project and was established by the Churches in Greenwich in 2021. The centre is associated with Community Money Advice (CMA), a national charity that facilitates the establishment of local debt advice services.

Goals and Services

The primary goal of Debt Centre Greenwich is to assist individuals struggling with unmanageable debt by offering a Christ-centred approach to achieving financial freedom. The organisation provides one-to-one support and access to free financial advice. It also takes referrals from the Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Team to help those with debt-related problems.

Activities

Debt Centre Greenwich offers face-to-face consultations, which include a preliminary session with a Money Mentor who assesses the individual's financial situation. These mentors provide guidance and support to help individuals manage their debts effectively.

Partnership with Community Money Advice

By partnering with CMA, Debt Centre Greenwich benefits from resources, training, and support to enhance its capacity to offer effective debt advice. CMA is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, ensuring that the services provided adhere to professional standards.
