Feedback helps us understand how customers are feeling, how we are doing in meeting their needs and, of course, where we can improve. Thanks to that feedback we've earned, for the third year running, @Feefo's Platinum Trusted Service Award.
Today's #FeedbackFriday is a powerful reminder that for many people their debt isn't just a financial burden - it's a legacy of a difficult time in their past. We are happy to have played a part in helping her move on from the trauma she suffered.
@Friends_Frankie was set up in memory of Frankie Grogan. Tomorrow we’ll be marking Frankie’s 6th birthday by encouraging colleagues to wear his favourite colours – blue and green – and to make a donation to support research into Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood @SUDCUK1
Once again Financial Wellness Group has confirmed its commitment to being a Real Living Wage employer. A number of colleagues will see their pay increase next month to ensure they at least match the new £9.90 rate.

Our callback service means that at busy times our existing customers don't need to wait to speak to a colleague from the customer service team.
If customers select the option we'll call them back as soon as a team member becomes free.

Celebrating the 6,500+ customers who completed their DMP, IVA, Trust Deed or DAS in 2021 and left us free of the debt included in it. Congratulations!
(Not forgetting those who we supported to clear their debts with a DRO, a negotiated debt write-off or a Settlement).
We hope that you managed to rest and recuperate over the Christmas and New Year period.
The year ahead looks like being an interesting and busy one for debt advice providers...
52% of our customers say that they struggled with their debts for a year or more before seeking help. Yet, as this review shows, the relief that debt advice can bring is instant. Why not make 2022 the year you resolve to tackle your debts?
