Napier Family Centre Budgeting Service
We know what it’s like when your money just doesn’t go round:- Bills not paid
- Creditors knocking
- Children’s needs not met
- Can’t pay schooling costs
- Empty food cupboard
- No money for rent
- Can’t seem to save for things you want
It’s hard to deal with:
- Separation and loss of income
- Seasonal work
- Easy finance options
- Managing as a solo parent
- Not knowing where to start
You are not alone. Each year we advise up to 500 people in Napier whose money worries stop their families from enjoying life. Did you know New Zealand’s national personal credit card debt is $4.5billion? In Napier the average personal debt of clients we help has risen ten-fold, from $2,000 to nearly $25,000 - this in just over the past 5 yrs!
There is a way through, and we can help you.
