Citizens’ Advice Bureau (CAB) North Canterbury has joined forces with Budgeting Services North Canterbury (BSNC) to offer the new initiative, which will be available at the CAB’s office at 209 High Street, Rangiora, alongside the Waimakariri District Council offices.

The clinic will give CAB clients the opportunity to discuss their budgeting needs and questions with a financial mentor from BSNC.

If the trial is successful, it will become a regular feature on alternate Wednesdays from next year.

BSNC service manager Sharon Grant says clients can expect to learn more about household budgeting, managing debt, advocacy services, support available to those in financial hardship, and to receive advice on completing insolvency applications.
