Debt Support Trust Update

It is with a heavy heart that Debt Support Trust has been forced to close our charity debt advice service. The board of Trustees and senior management felt the unpredictable nature of COVID-19 meant we could not, in good faith, continue to meet our charity objectives.

Over the past 11 years we’ve helped resolve millions of pounds worth of unsecured debt and supported tens of thousands of people through financial struggles. To everybody that called our advice line and trusted the charity to help, thank you! A debt of gratitude is also owed to our volunteers and partner organisations who referred and supported the charity.

The website will remain open and will be signposting people towards like-minded charities that can offer support. Whilst Debt Support Trust can no longer offer debt advice, it’s important that you know you are not alone. Alternative charity advisers are able to listen – in confidence – and provide advice that will enable you to once again become debt free. Obtaining debt advice is a turning point and can set you on a path to a financially happier future. Please take debt advice from a regulated money adviser.

We will be updating the website over the coming weeks to reflect that we can no longer offer regulated debt advice. For immediate debt advice from a free regulated charity, you can contact:

From everyone at Debt Support Trust, thank you.
