The Altrincham and Partington CAP Debt Help Service
Altrincham CAP are delighted to announce that following a 6 month temporary close to accepting new client referrals, they are now open from Monday 20th January. If you wish to refer a service user to them for an appointment then: please telephone the National Helpline Number on 0800 328 0006 or for further information about the service provided or for general advice please contact Claire Gregory directly on 07894 728884. They thank you for your understanding and patience whilst they have taken this pause, but seek as always to provide the very best service to those who have the very least.
During their pause they continued to work alongside their existing clients and once again were able to support a good number of clients out of the grip and burden of debt. 10 families were declared debt free during 2019, 4 families were treated to a short break away, they supported 85 families both during the summer months and over the Christmas period with hampers and they are seeing more of the families they work with gain confidence, gain control over their finances and move into volunteering positions or get back into work.
