best ways to take action and with the Electrical Industries Charity this is much easier than you think. The Charity offers free debt advice through the Confidential Helpline and one phone call will put you through to the helpline advisors who work with the Debt Advice Network and other debt charities to provide individual solutions to managing debt. Sometimes it isn’t easy to talk about your financial problems with the ones closest to you and that’s why we’re urging people to contact the Helpline. Talking it through with one of our independent advisors will not only help to ease the burden, it will also provide access to a wide range of practical solutions to managing
debt and help you to bring your finances back under control. Getting the right support is the first step
towards a better New Year and a new you. At the Electrical Industries Charity, we’re here to help regardless of your circumstances. Our goal is to help more people overcome their problems and get the support they really need – a resolution we will definitely be sticking to. The Confidential Helpline number is: 0800 652 1618.
