The Money Advice Team
Sheffield Homes now has two trained Money Advice workers, Janice Bell and Alison Whitehead.
Janice and Alison work with people who ask us for help with debt-related problems. They talk through the problems with you and offer help and advice on how to start turning things around. For example, they may put you in touch with a specialist debt agency or look at restructuring debts to make your payments more affordable.
If you think Janice and Alison could help you, please contact your local rents or community engagement team on 293 0000 or 205 3333 and ask if they will refer you to our Money Advice Team.
