About Us

Capitalise is a London-wide partnership led by Toynbee Hall, Blackfriars Advice Centre, and Mary Ward Legal Centre, in partnership with 14 other independent advice organisations, CABs and homeless charities including Broadway.

Capitalise is running a programme funded by the Government’s Financial Inclusion Fund to employ 56 advisers providing debt and money advice to financially excluded members of the public experiencing debt and other financial problems.

Capitalise’s Objectives

The Capitalise partnership will deliver services that best meet the advice needs of financially excluded Londoners. We will develop partnerships with the wider network of advice providers and key stakeholders, and will promote best practice and shape national policy to provide a cost-effective, quality service to the public.

Capitalise’s aims to:

• Ensure that Londoners receive high quality free debt advice 

• Enable them to deal effectively with the crises that they face due to debt

• Empower people to manage their finances effectively and to prevent further debt problems

• Improve local good practice in debt advice provision

• Increase understanding and improve the means of addressing debt and related financial inclusion issues in London, among policy makers and funders

• Maximise effective use of resources for the benefit of service users
