Supporting information
Access2Advice is a growing CIC, experienced in offering Debt Advice training and support to prisoners. Our Debt Advice is accredited under a national debt advice accreditation programme and our Finacial Capabilities training is accredited by City & Guilds.
Access2Advice CIC formed in 2008, from a wider group of Citizens Advice and Law Centre Trustees and staff members and there is an SLA in place that enables A2A to benefit from CALC training materials and space, and volunteering opportunities.
Initial funding was from John Paul Getty Trust and the Allen Lane Foundation which ends in December 2013. Funding has just been secured from the Big Lottery Fund for three years and is due to end in 2016.
A number of documents have been produced that evidence the impact of the organisation and these will be uploaded to the website when it becomes available.
