The course is taught with a DVD and work book.
Christins Against Poverty is also offering free face-to-face debt advice, which can be arranged through its helpline 0800 328 0006.
MP for Stockton North, Alex Cunningham, said:
“With many people worrying about money pressures or searching for employment, it’s heartening to know that there are organisations out there working hard to help people out of their financial troubles or back onto the job ladder. I’m pleased to see local churches – through Christians Against Poverty – taking a lead in tackling these issues through practical measures such as offering courses or face-to-advice, and urge anyone in Stockton North who might need this help to enrol or call the helpline.”
There are still places on the 8 Steps Toward Employment Job Club. This, and the Debt Help scheme can be accessed via the helpline 0800 328 0006, and choosing Option 2 or Option 1 respectively.
