The Debt Free London bus will be in Acton on Thursday 9th February to help provide residents with free financial advice. 

Debt Free London is a partnership of 16 charities across London who work together to give free advice from debt advisors. 

This is part of a London-wide tour which will see the bus visit all London boroughs before the end of February to help with the cost-of-living crisis and is supported by the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan. 

Councillor Bassam Mahfouz, Ealing Council's cabinet member for decent living incomes, said: "The cost-of-living crisis is placing the worst squeeze on household budgets for a generation. 

"Many council support services are seeing a huge increase in demand for help relating to financial hardship, council tax, rent arrears and housing.  

"We know that people are struggling, and this financial pressure has a direct impact on physical and mental wellbeing. 

"I would invite anybody in the borough who really needs it, to come down and take advantage of this service – it's free and confidential." 

The bus will be at St. Mary's Church in Acton from 10am to 4pm and will provide signposting on other cost of living support, and host webinars on a range of topics including rent, council tax arrears, budgeting, debt options, and mental health.
