A CHARITY with bases in West Fife has revealed that it expects to receive more calls for help in the coming weeks than ever before.
Christians Against Poverty, with local debt centres in Dunfermline and Burntisland, says that the post-Christmas rush to get finances sorted has begun in earnest.
Helene Kelly, Dunfermline centre manager, said, “We see a rise in calls during January and February because most people can’t face tackling their finances before Christmas.
" When these two elements come together, we see our busiest time. As our reach extends to more areas, with more debt coaches, we are set to see more people booked in than ever before.” In the first working week of 2015, CAP received 479 calls and the Dunfermline centre is currently booked up until the beginning of February.
