We are not a debt advice charity
If you are really struggling with debt, we can prepare you for the debt advice process. We will work with you to complete an income and expenditure statement which will help the debt charity look at your situation after we have personally referred you to them. Or if you prefer, you can visit their website here.

The immensity of Gods Love is understood through the resources He provides us with and HIS desire for us to use them to care for others
We put in place mechanisms that help individuals and families to stay on top of their spending, giving them controlled spending, organised money management and financial inclusion. Putting together a properly constructed budget with the help of a guiding hand can help lift and encourage people to tackle the problem.
We are passionate about connecting with those that are truly trying to do their best to survive in today's society. For those living in poverty, every day is a financial struggle and when we live in a society that actually demands the poor to pay more, it’s hard for any of them to break out of that poverty trap.
We will give people the resources that will help them gain control over their finances rather than money having control over them.

"The knowledge of social well-being and of reform can be learned not from books, nor from the public platform, but in climbing the stairs to the poor person’s garret, sitting by their bedside, feeling the same cold that pierces them, sharing the secrets of their lonely hearts and troubled minds”
Antoine Frédéric Ozanam

And that concept of gaining knowledge is what we embrace here at GiG. We build true and trusting relationships with people, not through email and distant telephone conversations but through committed home visits. Only then shall we experience the real joy of meeting people and to truly coming to know them.
