MONEY AND EVERYDAY LIFE
Debt can follow many circumstances, including changes in income, health or family responsibilities. If you are worried, you deserve useful advice and a conversation that does not begin with blame.
A qualified debt adviser can help you understand your situation and possible options. MoneyHelper provides a locator for free debt advice.
When speaking to an adviser, ask what information will help them understand your circumstances. Do not send bank details, debt documents or account passwords to a general church form.
ANCC can discuss pastoral support and prayer, but cannot promise money, debt cancellation or a particular financial outcome. A donation to church is not a route to becoming debt-free.
Financial pressure does not determine your worth to God or your welcome in church. You can seek professional advice and ask for Christian encouragement at the same time.
If the worry is affecting your wellbeing, tell an appropriate professional or trusted person. Our care page explains how to ask for a pastoral conversation.
