Support from ReachOut
We work with a company called ReachOut to support our customers through difficult times – not just with money, but with any challenges you may be facing. Sometimes, we ask ReachOut to get in touch with our customers to see if they can help.
ReachOut is not a debt collection agency and won’t ask for payments. Their team, known as Pathfinders, provides friendly and confidential support. They'll listen to your situation and guide you to charities and organisations that can offer free help, such as grants, advice, and support for your financial, mental, or physical wellbeing.
If you haven’t heard from ReachOut but think you could benefit from some support, please visit our Debt advice and support organisations page.
