Website: www.creditaction.org.uk Credit Action is a national money education charity (registered Charity No. 1035783) established in 1994. Before becoming an independent charity it was part of the Jubilee Centre, Cambridge. We produce a range of resources which help everybody handle their money well. Through media exposure we want to encourage everyone to have confidence in handling their money. We want to try and help as many as possible avoid the pain of debt. However we recognise many contacting us will be in trouble already, so we have very close links with PPP. We also serve local churches by speaking on Biblical and practical principles of better money management with the aim of helping both congregations and communities.”
