We are holding a workshop with Ripon Ray and Debt Free London today as part of our ongoing outreach to debt advisors across England & Wales working on the frontline. Debt Free London is a unique partnership of charities led by Toynbee Hall and funded by the Money and Pensions Service, that provides free, expert advice to Londoners with problem debt. From rent arrears to council tax and utility bills, debt advisors work with clients to prioritise their bills, help them understand the enforcement process and provide much needed support.
UK Power Networks and Your Doctor Debt work in partnership to reach out to vulnerable Bengali and other minority communities in London for the purposes of the Priority Services Register. If there is a power cut in your area, minority communities in London need to be prepared and register with the Priority Services Register in case you need help with advice and support, meals or overnight accommodation if they there is no power. To encourage such a registration, Your Debt Doctor has been in consultation with UK Power Network to plan a strategy and to reach out to the minority communities in London. If you are part of such a minority community, you need to register: www.UKpowernetworks.co.uk/YDD
