EACH year thousands of people from all walks of life, often through no fault of their own, fall into debt – but help is available locally.
“We are all vulnerable,” says a spokesperson for Melksham Community Money Advice. “It is easy to put bills, letters, final demands into a drawer and hope the problem will go away! Unfortunately, it does not, but there are organisations like us who can help. Anyone concerned about debt, or who would like to talk about their problems, can make an appointment. The help is free of charge and confidential.
“An advisor will contact creditors. Doing this will lift a burden that may have affected clients emotionally, causing depression and despair. As the process continues over time, people grow in confidence, regain a smile, and realise that they can have hope for the future.”
The centre is sponsored by the Melksham Family of Churches and meet weekly at the Melksham Baptist Church, Old Broughton Road. Clients can be seen by appointment on Thursdays or at other suitable times.
“We are here to help,” adds the spokesperson for Melksham Community Money Advice.
