About us
Crosslight Advice is an independent, community-focused charity working to alleviate poverty and financial hardship through the provision of comprehensive debt advice and accessible financial education. Crosslight was founded in 2009, and over that time has developed a service that is both restorative and transformational for clients in the long term. We look beyond the immediate crisis with the aim of meeting individuals at their point of need and walking with them to full restoration, however long that takes.

Rachel* upon fleeing domestic violence found herself sofa-surfing, with nowhere to turn. Through advice from her doctor, Rachel reached out to Crosslight for support with her debts, where our advisers supported her with a number of things including securing support from her local council for somewhere to live. Rachel also attended one of our Money Courses to help better prepare her for the future. After working with us, Rachel shared how it had impacted her life, "Now I have everything I need to start a new life. A warm place to sleep and live, food, so many tips on how to save money and how to make my own budget. I am almost free of debts and am now able to pay my bills because of all the support [from Crosslight]. I have also met many people who truly care about me and who are proud of seeing me progress and build a new life... My winnings are theirs too. Now I can focus on my mental and physical health and do the things I enjoy. Thank you again." Could you help us keep more people from becoming homeless? If so, please consider donating to Crosslight Advice ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/ejkGe2iZ *Pseudonym used #DebtAdvice #MoneyEducation #Housing #Home #Homelessness

Did you know that today is 'Give Something Away Day'? For charities (like Crosslight Advice) who are unable to accept physical items as a way of support, one of the most valuable things to receive from supporters is TIME. Have you ever considered giving some of your time towards helping others? Perhaps you want to make your local community a better place for everyone? Or how about even leaning a new skill? If you are keen to give something away today, why not consider giving your time away by becoming a Crosslight Advice volunteer? We would love to welcome you to the team! Find out more and what volunteering opportunities there are ⬇ and get in touch if you have any questions. https://lnkd.in/eFuBX-Nw #GiveSomethingAwayDay #GiveTime #Time #Volunteer #Volunteering #DebtAdvice #MoneyEducation #London #Kent #Swindon
