Today is a good day for children!

We're celebrating this with 17 other organisations including charities, campaigners, unions and faith groups with a national advert in The Times.

The advert has been funded by hundreds of small donations from ordinary people; these supporters of 38 Degrees gave an average donation of £8.42.

Thank you to NLive Radio for chatting to our CEO, Sarah, today about and the rising concerns about energy costs.

Almost half of us will face problem debt at some time, but stigma stops many from seeking help.

Please contact us if you have concerns about debts, benefits or if you’re concerned about rent or mortgage arrears🙏.

Don’t wait until it’s a crisis

Did you know…last year, Community Law Service helped our clients manage debt totalling over £29 million across Northamptonshire.

Behind every one of those cases is a person who waited - often too long - before asking for help.

This is about breaking that cycle. Debt isn't a personal failing. It's something that can happen to anyone. And the sooner you talk to someone, the sooner things can get better. 💙

Our free weekly debt drop-in sessions mean you could speak to an adviser this week - no long wait, no judgement. https://www.facebook.com/CommunityLawNN/events

✅ Free
✅ Confidential
✅ Independent

Don't let shame hold you back. Take the first step today. Talk to us. 💙

This , we need to talk about something important - stigma.

86% of people with debt feel ashamed. That shame stops people asking for help…and we see what happens next. Bills pile up. Stress takes over. What could have been sorted quickly becomes a crisis.

More than 50% of people in the UK have had problem debt at some time – you are not alone. Debt can happen to anyone. A lost job, an unexpected bill, a relationship breakdown, a bereavement - life changes fast.

This week, and every week, we're here to help. Our free, confidential, independent debt advice is available right now across Northamptonshire. 💙

Don't wait for it to get worse. Get in touch. .

Did you catch us on BBC Northamptonshire this morning?

Our CEO Sarah Hayle joined Annabel Amos to talk about why we launched the campaign — and what it means for people across Northamptonshire who are struggling with debt, housing pressures, benefits, energy costs or immigration concerns.

The message is simple: don't wait until crisis hits. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can help — and the better the outcome.

If anything in this morning's conversation resonated with you, or you know someone who needs support, please get in touch.

All our services are FREE, confidential and independent.

Don't struggle alone. Sort it sooner. 💙

Tune in to BBC Northamptonshire Radio this Monday morning!
Our CEO Sarah Hayle will be joining Annabel Amos on BBC Northampton Radio to talk about our campaign — and why getting help early makes all the difference.
The conversation will focus on debt, but the message sits across everything we do — housing, benefits, energy and fuel poverty, and immigration advice.
Because we know that by the time many people reach us, things have already escalated. Your home could be at risk. Debt has grown. Stress has taken a toll on health. What could have been sorted quickly has become a crisis.
It doesn't have to be that way.
All our services are FREE, confidential and independent.
If you're worried about anything — don't wait. 💙
