Members of Cafs Financial Counselling Team are hosting a special ‘Bring in your Bills’ event on Thursday, November 9 at Parent Place Ballarat to provide free, confidential advice to anyone who may be experiencing financial hardship.

“We know that people are finding it tougher than ever to make ends meet” said Cafs Advanced Practitioner, Narelle Clark.  “Our hope is that if someone is struggling with unmanageable debts, such as those from telcos and utilities, they will feel comfortable enough to come and talk to us about what they are experiencing so that we can provide them with the tools to manage their situation.”

“The lead up to Christmas and the festive season can result in families feeling additional financial pressure and our aim is to empower people to take control of their finances early and look forward to a positive start to 2024”, she said.

Cafs Financial Counsellors will be at Parent Place Ballarat between 10am and 2pm and anyone is welcome to drop in for a conversation. Longer appointments can also be made on Cafs website, via the link HERE.
