About Us
History and behind the scenes
History
Lifeline Debt Advice was set up in 2008 by Sandbach Methodist Church (now part of Unity Methodist Church charity 1173520) and offers face to face appointments in its office in the Wesley Centre.
We are affiliated to the national charity Community Money Advice.
We are staffed entirely by volunteers who come mainly, but not exclusively from the Christian Community. We offer confidential, non-judgmental help and debt advice to anyone regardless of background or belief.

We never charge clients, our funding is from grants and donations.
We are very grateful to the following organisations which have supported our work by providing grants or donations.
