Detailed consultation with clients using domestic abuse support services in the Carmarthen area has revealed that nearly all have outstanding debt (via credit cards, money loans, loans from friends and/or money owed on rent or utility bills) though they often did not identify these as “debt”. Furthermore, many women in the refuge have never had any control over finances or budgeting. A grant will employ a Money Coach to provide information, training and guidance on debt, maintaining a tenancy, understanding bank accounts and savings, controlling household budgets and financial planning. This will empower this vulnerable client group to reduce their debt and maximise their income.
