Charities for 2010The PCC have ratified the list of Charities that we are supporting for 2010 - See here for the complete list.We start with our Charity for January, February and March 2010 - Community Centre for Debt Advice - Staplehurst  Do you know anyone who is in debt for one reason or another? I'm sure we all do. Debt seems to be a fact of' life in our current society. The latest figures from Credit Action state that the total UK personal debt at the end of October 2009 stood at £1,458bn. That's lot of money and it causes a huge number of headaches, heartaches, breakdown in relationships and even suicide. The Community Centre for Debt Advice in Staplehurst is an initiative by the local churches in response to this situation, filling a gap in statutory and other services available in the area. As Christians we are trying to follow the example set by Jesus: to show unconditional love and offer assistance to those around us in their time and place of need, regardless of their faith or background. The centre is manned by trained volunteers who come from the various churches in the village. The service offers free confidential advice and help to anyone struggling with budgeting, overdrafts or threatening creditors. We offer a sympathetic listening ear, will negotiate with creditors and help relieve the burden of coping with debt. We are based in an upstairs office in the Village Centre. We have been very grateful to the various churches, individuals, the Parish and Borough Councils who have so far supported the centre financially and we are delighted that we have been chosen as the charity of the month for 3 months in 2010. If you would like more information or would like to speak to an advisor, please contact us referring to the contact details below.
