Story
The UK is experiencing a cost-of-living shock. For those on low incomes or reliant on benefits in particular, it is already having a profound impact, further trapping people in poverty and debt, and preventing them from flourishing and realising their potential. Crosslight Advice are determined to help!
Crosslight works to lift people out of poverty and help them build a better future, become more economically resilient, and improve their life chances. With over 20 locations throughout London and the South, Crosslight works with some of the most marginalised and vulnerable people in society through our programmes providing comprehensive debt & benefit advice, building financial resilience through money education and budgeting coaching, and mentoring clients with open-ended holistic support to increase their mental wellbeing and social mobility.
Debt was an anchor that held me down under the water, I was drowning. Its all very physical. When you clear that anchor, you can swim to the surface and breathe again. This means that other things can happen, life can happen. If I didnt have people like my debt adviser, I wouldnt have been able to navigate through it. She, and others at Crosslight, helped make such a hard thing so much easier and with them I was able to see a way out. I wish that I could tell the world about Crosslight because they are amazing.
Move4Change London will see all of our London branches and supporters come together to raise money for our vital work. We want to ensure that we can continue to support those struggling by providing holistic and comprehensive debt advice as well as financial education.
