Debt Response Programme
Debt Response Programme
The Debt Response Programme the CRT has created works with local Citizens Advice Bureaus, Credit Unions and Law Centres to provide practical support for people in coalfield communities.
It covers issues ranging from managing debt, getting back to work and avoiding repossessions. The programme which started in April 2009 is scheduled to manage over £38m of debt by April 2010.
CRT were awarded £750,000 of funding from the department of Communities and Local Government to support this much needed initiative.
The Coalfields Regeneration Trust’s Debt Response Programme is due to manage more than £38,000,000 of debt by engaging with more than 5,000 people.
