Our vision is for no one in Mid Devon to be homeless or hungry and our values of Compassion, Justice, Advocacy and Dignity are at the heart of everything we do.

Nearly three decades after CHAT began, the organisation has had to grow to address the growing demand for our services. We have seen demand for our advice rise at an alarming rate. Our Support and Advice Team offer free, impartial and confidential help across the Mid Devon area. Our service specialises in serving those who are more vulnerable, with a face to face service with trained staff and volunteers who address the immediate need, and the underlying issues.

1736349182_compared_to.pngMany of our clients struggle to manage their money well for a variety of reasons and from budgeting to bankruptcy we help them get back to a place of financial independence.

In the last 5 years, our debt and money advice cases have increased by 349%.

We have an in-house Debt Relief Order (DRO) intermediary, so can support clients with face-to-face advice at every stage of the way to financial independence – whether budgeting or dealing with bankruptcy.

For the last 2 years the service has been funded by Global's Make Some Noise, but that funding is coming to an end soon, so we need your help to be able to continue offering this support to the community.

It has finally been approved, and I just want to express how amazing she’s been at guiding me every step of the way. She thoroughly explained what would happen and what to expect, which really helped ease my mind. Without Sharon’s support, I don’t think I would have followed through and would still be stressed out. Honestly, without her help and encouragement, I would have continued to hide from the problem and avoid facing it". Client 2024
