Debt Awareness Week 2016
In 2016 we helped partner organisations run a variety of Debt Awareness Weeks throughout January. Over 400 partner organisations carried out a week of activity to promote free debt advice.
We also ran a DebtDay event on 18 January 2016 which opened the doors of the charity to see behind the scenes on one our busiest days of the year. We made hourly updates on the amount of debt reported to us, posted stories from the front line of debt advice, held debt advice clinics online and lots more.
Debt Awareness Week 2015
In 2015 we helped people take control of their finances by launching our innovative 7 Days, 7 Ways programme. We used Debt Awareness Week as a chance to spread the word about this new tool that helps people to deal with their finances over the course of a week.
We also asked our advisors to write letters to clients they'd advised, which produced some touching messages.
Debt Awareness Week 2014
In the first Debt Awareness Week, we wanted people to find out if they were showing any of the danger signs of debt. With the help of our 60-second debt test, people could quickly find out if they needed help with their finances.
