Financial Health Check

Advice and assistance to clients who may be struggling to make your money last to the end of the week/month or worried about how they will pay their bills, a financial health check can help ensure they are receiving the money they are entitled to and not paying over the odds for services.

Ways you might be able to save cash:

• Cheaper deals on things like gas and electricity
• Claiming benefits you might not know you’re entitled to
• Grants or exemptions you may be entitled to
   

If you have any money worries, or if you are in debt and you want some advice, the advisers will be able to talk you through your options and help you find the best way forward.
