We did it – thanks to you!

  • 23 September 202523 September 2025
Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve reached our original campaign target of £10,000 for our Save our Debt Advice Centre campaign! Every donation, share, and message of support has brought us to this amazing milestone, and we are so grateful.
