Our Chief Client Officer Richard Lane shares a powerful message for #DebtAwarenessWeek: debt is nothing to be ashamed of, and it can happen to anyone. It's time to break down the stigma surrounding debt and encourage open conversations about it.

It's #DebtAwarenessWeek, and stigma is under focus. We know, from our Give Me Some Credit project, that stigma can shift blame from the real causes of poverty onto individuals—eroding dignity and stopping people from accessing support.

Great to see my local council Lambeth Council working with us at StepChange to support people sturggling with problem debt or worried about their finances!

Today's #SpringStatement brings some welcome increases to benefits, but we’re concerned this comes at the expense of cutting support for the most vulnerable – particularly as this will result in a significant net reduction in social security spending overall.

Today we’ve launched StepChange's new strategy for 2025–30! Stepping Ahead: Destigmatising Debt. Powering Financial Resilience sets out a clear vision for a digital-first, data-led, expert-powered service focused on long-term outcomes. stepchange.org/about-us/strat…

I’m super proud that today we’ve launched StepChange’s new organisational strategy for 2025–30: Stepping Ahead: Destigmatising Debt. Powering Financial Resilience.🧵

A big thank you to Credit Connect UK for shortlisting us in the ‘Debt Advice Provider of the year’ category at the Credit and Collections Industry Awards 2025 👋🏻

The new £1bn Crisis and Resilience Fund, announced today by the Government, is a lifeline for people in financial difficulty. After years of calling for permanent support, today’s announcement brings long-term stability for those facing hardship.
