Financial counsellors work in not for profit community organisations.

They provide free and independent advice and support to people with money and debt problems. 

 The demand for financial counsellors outstrips supply. Face to face financial counselling agencies often have long waiting lists and calls to the National Debt Helpline, the phone financial counselling service are increasing year on year.

 The purpose of the Foundation is to increase access to financial counselling by providing much needed additional funding for the sector.
