We’re thrilled to be delivering a new programme funded by Impact on Urban Health to strengthen community-based debt advice in Southwark and neighbouring London boroughs, working in partnership with Citizens Advice Southwark, the Financial Inclusion Centre and Resolve Poverty.

Based on our community-led, interconnected and culturally appropriate approach to debt advice, the programme will provide holistic, ongoing support for people facing complex financial challenges and generate learning about what effective community-rooted debt advice looks like in practice.

Muna Yassin MBE, CEO at Rooted Finance, said:

“At Rooted, we see how community debt advice reaches and benefits distinct groups and communities in a way that mainstream services simply cannot replicate. Our advisers respond with cultural and community intelligence to solve complex and entrenched debt issues, providing holistic, appropriate support tailored to people’s circumstances.”

We’ll be sharing ongoing insight and learning as the programme progresses, alongside opportunities to engage.
