Making a genuine difference to peoples lives every day.

Ok, so I'm a little biased as I am fortunate enough to work for this incredible charity. Speaking to Clients everyday that have had their lives turned around because they turned to StepChange when through no fault of their own, their life circumstances changed and they found themselves struggling is very humbling and rewarding work. I love the work, and love helping real people turn their lives around.... Reviewed on: 4th July 2020

You can feel isolated and alone when debt creeps up! Stepchange are there to offer a kind and listening ear when you are confused and at a loss where to go and what to do next! Thank you so much Stepchange as I am not too far now from Debt free thanks to your brilliant service and you have been wonderful especially at this strange time with Covic causing changes no one could forsee.

All the staff I dealt with with were friendly, professional and non-judgemental. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Stepchange really changed my life and helped me see the light at a time when I thought there was only darkness. Reviewed on: 3rd July 2020

Worry Free

Since i contacted Step Change in May 2019 my life changed. I was constantly dreading knocks on my door or post delivered. Glad i took the plunge and got in touch with thhem. The advisor took his time going through my debts. In the end a plan was sorted out for me and now with just one monthly payment my debts are all going down. It will take a while, my life is back on track. Thanks to Step Change. Reviewed on: 3rd July 2020

Just ringing them, sorting through my debts and coming up with many solutions to help and picking the right one for me was a massive weight from my shoulders! I can’t thank them enough. Just talking to them made me feel at ease and we hadn’t even started talking about my debts by this point. Reviewed on: 12th June 2020

Life Changing

5
Step Change have changed my life in a way nobody else could. After spending three years in denial, having my debts build up because I was ignoring all letters and phone calls I eventually couldn’t run anymore and one of my creditors froze my account for two months and told me to contact Step Change. Even then, I contacted Step Change at the very end of the two months. I was afraid, embarrassed, worried at what they would say. When I called they were so understanding, reassuring in a way I can’t even put into words. They helped me set up a debt repayment plan, they took control and said I could repay all my creditors and be debt free in just over one year. And all of a sudden my chest didn’t feel so heavy, this huge weight had gone and I could breath again. I didn’t realise how much worrying about my debt and hiding it from friends and family was eating me up inside. The people I spoke to were amazing, so compassionate and made me feel like it was all going to be ok. I can’t believe this amazing service is free. I had never heard of Step Change before, I think a lot of people will be the same. I guess it’s not the sort charity you want to be familiar with. But they have been there for me when nobody else has been. Step Change deserve this award and so much more. People won’t be aware of them, but they are always there to catch you when you fall.
