During the long hot summer, NYCALC has been earnestly preparing for what will be our busiest time of year, autumn and winter.
The shorter and chillier days place far more demand on people’s pockets and see a dramatic increase in people attending our drop-ins, outreach sessions and calling the telephone adviceline. As you will be well aware, everyday living remains expensive with food prices rising and energy bills unpredictable, sadly resulting in hardship for many. Over the last year debt has become an increasingly common problem, with an 18% increase in NYCALC’s cases. We are proud that we have been able to help people tackle this distressing issue constructively and enable £3,288,934 of debt to be written off across the county.
NYCALC is committed to being here to provide the advice and legal help necessary to help anyone in North Yorkshire and Farlington overcome their difficulties. The most common problems have been around financial services.
Good advice really does change lives and without our free, confidential and impartial service, people in Farlington would struggle to find reliable and regulated advice.
