Financial
Mentoring
Getting your money life sorted can be a real challenge. Debt that is unmanageable can adversely affect your mental and physical well being and create issues with your relationships. The good news is you don’t have to go through financial hardship alone. Our team of friendly financial mentors are here to support you and work alongside you to get your money sorted.
Why use the CARE Financial Mentoring Service?
Our service is strictly confidential and non-judgmental. We are here to support you into greater empowerment and regaining control of your money life.
We take a holistic approach when working with our clients. We are aware that financial problems often stem from other areas of life so we look at offering alternative approaches and strategies. We work closely with the CARE counselling team as well as other community services to ensure you have the support you need.
What we do is give you an opportunity to talk through your situation and our financial mentors will work alongside you to develop a money plan. Ideally we want to get our clients to a place where they can live within their means while still enjoying life and saving for the future.
