A CHARITY is urging people struggling with their finances to ask for help.
National organisation Christians Against Poverty (CAP) opened a branch in Bolton in April.
The debt counselling centre, which is based at The Bridge Church in The Haulgh, offers free advice.
CAP commissioned YouGov to carry out research into the state of the finances of UK residents and more than half of the population believe their finances are worse than this time last year, with one in five stating they are much worse off.
Anna Wynn, centre manager, said: “These results are truly shocking and evidence that we are slipping further into financial difficulty as a country. We want to underline that there is a solution for those trapped by debt. We are able to offer hope and a solution to those struggling and we are seeing people turn their finances around.”
