Financial pressure can affect anyone

Financial difficulty can happen to anyone, often without warning. Common causes include:

• Losing your job
• A drop in income
• Health problems
• A relationship breaking down
• Bereavement
• Fraud
• Other major life events

It rarely stays just about money. Financial pressure often brings stress, anxiety and less confidence making decisions.
