Financial and wellbeing support service

The financial and wellbeing support service is a free new service in Surrey Heath. It combines combines expert benefits and money advice from Citizens Advice Surrey Heath and specialist wellbeing support from mental health charity Catalyst.

The aim of the service is to:

  • increase your financial resilience and independence
  • improve your overall mental and/or emotional wellbeing
