Money Advice

Confidential advice for clients to help them manage their money more effectively, reduce their outgoings and move out of debt.

Better Off In Work Advice

Financial advice and support to help people make the transition from benefits into employment, accessing in-work and return-to-work benefits where applicable. Clients can also find out more about other services which can help them back into employment. (This service is financed by Inverclyde Council, the UK Government and Scottish Government).

What Our Clients Are Saying

“I recently became unwell and had to stop working. I had no experience of claiming benefits and a friend recommended your organisation. What a great service. After an hour appointment, I knew what I should be claiming and how to do it. My adviser helped me with the forms and kept in touch. Thank you Financial Fitness for helping me through a very worrying and stressful time!”

— John

“It's great to have a service like this with very nice and helpful staff, I would advise anyone needing help with forms etc. to ring them. My representative was so nice and made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend this service, they do a great job.”

— Ellen

“I often refer to Financial Fitness as the 4th emergency service! Honestly, they have made a difference to so many people's lives by advising them of their income and entitlement to benefits. Inverclyde would be a far poorer place without them. A big thanks from me and my wife for all your help.”

Martin Lewis - Money Saving Expert

“Dear Financial Fitness,

I have been hearing about the work that you do and I know there is no Citizen’s Advice Bureau in the area - I’m a massive fan of that organisation - but, thankfully the people of Inverclyde are protected, helped and given good advice because you are there. I was reading that you have given over £50 million worth of Welfare Benefits Advice. That is an incredible achievement, absolutely superb. I just want to wish you well and hope you continue the good work. We are in very difficult times at the moment, people are really struggling. They have got debt problems, they are struggling just to make ends meet even if they don’t have debt problems with Welfare provisions being cut and it takes people actually face to face giving them advice. I wish you all the best in the future.”
