Debt Awareness Week

Debt Awareness Week is organised each year by Step Change debt charity who are dedicated to breaking down the barriers that stop people from accessing support.

Debt affects people from all walks of life. While someone's situation may seem normal on the outside, many are silently dealing with financial hardship due to the shame and stigma around debt. By breaking the stigma around debt, more people can be supported at an earlier stage to manage their finances and improve their mental wellbeing.
