1 Directory of Debt Support Agencies - Gwent 2014
2 Introduction This directory is set up for practitioners within Gwent to help provide sign posting information who may wish to refer service users on to support organisations who offer advice on debt support and management. The directory covers support services in all 5 local authority and health board areas of Gwent, providing a base line indicator of services that can be offered.

3 Over all View of Debt Service Providers Age Concern Cymru Are now situated within the Memory Clinic system and also are contacted by secondary mental health practitioners as part of the older person s discharge protocols. Age Cyrmu will support service users to increase their income through providing benefit welfare assistance, but will also offer general support and advice as well as low level financial advice such as budget planning and writing to creditors (ie energy suppliers etc) on behalf of service users. Any more pressing issues with debt such as IVA s, Debt Relief Orders or Bankruptcy will be referred to the Citizen s Advice Bureau in Newport. Face -Face contact by a support worker is offered within the memory clinic setting and also as a domiciliary service. These services can be arranged through the Age Concern Cymru. Basic on line information can be sourced via: Main contact: Tony Hussein (01633) /11 office hours: Mon Fri hrs hdsnewport@agecymrugwent.org Alzheimer Society The Alzheimer s society do not in themselves give advice about financial implications to the illness nor do they give debt advice. They will sign post to a regional C.A.B or to the Step Change Debt Charity Helpline. The society has developed a Dementia Friendly Banking Charter that will give service users and carer s advice on how to deal with banks and utility services. Main Contact Lesley Thomas (Locality Manager Gwent) (01495) Lesley.Thomas@alzheimers.org.uk Christians Against Poverty The CAP debt centre is run in partnership with two churches in the Gwent area; the Church on the Rise, Beaufort, Ebbw Vale and Hill City Church, Pontypool. It takes
4 practitioner and self referrals through the central contact number. Once a service user has been referred, the centre manager and a support worker will arrange to visit the service user in their own home. The initial visit will allow CAP to understand the debt problem and to gather information including utility / housing bills and bank statements etc to pass on to a central caseworker in their main office in Bradford. The caseworker will review the debts and liaise with the creditors to work out a repayment plan for both primary and secondary debt. CAP will then return to the user with a draft budget and payment plan and arrange for a standing order to be set up from the service user for the monthly amount of debt repayment into an individual debt repayment account within CAP. CAP will then pay the service users' creditors on their behalf. CAP will also ensure that a small amount of additional money is available for service users in case of emergencies, and possibly savings for the future. Once a final budget plan has been agreed between CAP and the service user, a case worker and support worker will continually be available and contact them to check on their well being and ensure that they are managing financially until the end of their period of debt. Debt support offered includes: Debt Recovery Orders Debt Management Plans IVA s Bankruptcy The service is predominantly offered though regional church groups. Information about services in your area can be found in the regional directory.
