Publications
Annual Review
We publish a yearly review of our operations, detailing new developments in the charity as we seek to increase the scope and quality of our provision for people in debt. The review also looks at how we lie in relation to the fast changing climate of consumer debt. Our latest annual review can be found on our research and reports page.
Annual Statistical Yearbook
The StepChange Debt Charity Statistical Yearbook is a yearly publication which analyses our client base in detail. It tracks socio-economic trends as well as changes in levels and types of borrowing, over a three year period to give perspective. It breaks down the information into demographic and regional divisions. The Statistical Yearbook serves as a respected, in-depth summary of the state of consumers’ problem-debt in the UK. Our latest statistical yearbook can be found on our research and reports page.

From time to time, StepChange Debt Charity publishes other reports on specific topics, which will be made available on this website.
