Notes

East Sussex Credit Union (ESCU) has confirmed plans to provide a free budgeting and money management advice service to the hard-pressed residents of Wealden. Sponsored by Wealden District Council, ESCU will be providing a programme of simple, down-to-earth, local financial workshops across the district beginning in July. The new ESCU workshops are designed specifically to help educate people to manage their finances better and where required to promote access to an ethical lender, able to provide cost effective credit and savings solutions. This avoids the need for residents to approach payday loan companies or doorstep lenders who can charge extortionate rates of interest and impose very restrictive terms and conditions.
