Justin Tomlinson MP today called on fellow North Swindon residents to have a free health check from the Money Advice Service.
The Money Advice Service is a free, independent service, established by government and funded by a levy on the financial services industry. It also recently took on the additional role of coordinating free debt advice services, providing a single contact point for people struggling with debts.
The health check is a free service available to everyone online at: www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk
Justin Tomlinson MP said:
“This is a great tool to help people plan for the future, which is why I am urging everyone to spare a few minutes to complete the financial health check
It takes less than 10 minutes to complete, involves no paper work and provides an action plan suited to the individuals circumstances. These action plans include quick ‘must do’s’ as well as clear financial priorities for the longer term – helping people both now and in the future.
Justin Tomlinson MP added,
“Whether constituents need online, face to face or telephone help with their finances my office has all the relevant details for the Money Advice Service so I’d urge them to get in touch ASAP or visit www.moneyadvice.org.uk
Tony Hobman, Chief Executive of the Money Advice Service, thanked Justin Tomlinson MP for his support and said,
“We are grateful to Justin for raising awareness of the free services that the Money Advice Service offers. We can all enjoy life more if given the right money advice at the right time in the right way. We’re not here to sell people anything and we won’t charge anyone – we are here to help people take decisions about their money and plan for a better future for themselves and their families.”
