Kettering charity Accommodation Concern celebrates a major a+chievement

Our Mission

At Accommodation Concern, we understand the challenges our clients face, from the threat of homelessness to the burden of overwhelming debt.

Our mission is to provide compassionate, comprehensive support and advice to help them navigate these difficult times. Reaching this £2 million milestone is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, and the trust our clients place in us during their most vulnerable moments.

Impact and Success

Over the past year, our dedicated team has worked tirelessly to secure significant financial gains for our clients. This includes:

• Over £1.3 million awarded in benefits claimed: Ensuring that our clients receive the financial support they are entitled to.
• Over £500,000 in debt written off through Debt Relief Orders (DROs): Providing relief from unmanageable debt and a fresh start for those in need.
• £368,000 in financial gains achieved in July 2024 alone: Demonstrating our continued commitment and effectiveness in supporting our clients.

These gains represent real money that will be returned to our local economy.

Benefits claimed are spent in local businesses, and debts written off allow clients to be more financially active in the Northamptonshire economy.

This means that everyone benefits from our work, not just the clients we help. Additionally, this work has a measurable positive effect on clients' mental health outcomes, saving money in our overstretched health and social care services.

These financial gains have made a tangible difference in the lives of our clients, helping them to achieve financial stability and improve their overall well-being.

Client Stories

Behind these impressive figures are countless stories of individuals and families whose lives have been positively impacted by our services. From preventing homelessness to giving people a fresh start debt-free, our work has made a real difference in the community. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve and support our clients through challenging times.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to continuing our mission of providing essential advice and support to those in need. We will keep working towards ensuring that every individual and family in Northamptonshire has access to the resources and guidance necessary to achieve financial stability and security.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our clients, partners, and supporters who have contributed to this success. Your trust and collaboration have been instrumental in reaching this milestone. Together, we can continue to make a positive impact in our community.
