If you are struggling with debt, the Solihull Community Advice Hubs are here to help you.
There are many reasons why people get into debt. The lasting effects of the pandemic and rising cost of living have led to more people struggling to make their money stretch to pay for normal daily living expenses.
If you are in debt, the most important thing to do is to ask for help.
The Solihull Community Advice Hubs are here to help you. Our Hub Advisers will never judge you or your situation; they will speak to you honestly about your individual situation and help you to find solutions.
No one chooses to be in debt but you can choose to get help and support and the earlier you do this the better.

Many people have found themselves in fuel debt due to the pandemic, and the increase in fuel prices. Our Advisers can help you with this debt. There may be grants that we can help you to apply for to reduce the debt, or we can help you to speak to your energy company.
See below for other ways we can help.
Benefits
We can check your benefits to ensure you are getting everything you are entitled to. Many people may not realise that they are entitled to a benefit such as Universal Credit or a Council Tax Reduction. You can also check your benefit entitlement on websites such as Turn2Us.
