Hi all
A few months ago in another thread we mentioned our new Online Debt Resource Tool
http://mymoney.nedcab.org.uk/moneyadvice/
Mymoneynedcab has been shortlisted as a finalist in the best new initiative category at the Institute of Money Advisers (IMA) 2012 Awards evening held tonight in Harrogate.

Our new system was developed in house by the combined bureau staff and is now being successfully used in the front line of debt advice with further developments ongoing.
We would like to take this opportunity to genuinely thank those on this forum (Melanie Giles & Size 5) who gave us important feedback which was acted upon.
We are very pleased with the way our new system is developing especially in relation to working with other agencies and vulnerable clients and that it has now received official recognition.
As many members will be aware as one of the few charity agencies (maybe even lone charity) that post on here we occasionally find ourselves engaged in what could be described by some as heated debate with other forum members.
We acknowledge that we are not regular posters on this site but genuinely believe that our contributions are worthwhile as they can sometimes bring a little balance to the procceedings and we have always been made welcome.
It has been a difficult couple of years for NEDCAB & our colleagues in other CABs up and down the country and the uncertainty continues, however we have never given up the fight and will battle on come what may.
The CABs play a vital role in debt advice, especially on a face to face role (some people may say.. you would say that which is understandable and they are right because that is excactly what we are saying because it is true)
All that said we would like to think that our fellow members on this forum and viewers looking in will wish us well tonight and for the future.
Yours Sincerely
The NED-CAB Team
