“We have found kmac to be a valuable and extremely effective service in our work with families.
kmac have made a massive difference to the lives of the people in our area. Those being helped by kmac have said that it has had a huge, positive impact on their lives.”
​
“It is not an exaggeration
to say that kmac has lifted my clients out of depression and enabled them to stop living in fear of the brown envelopes or a knock on the door.
​
The team treated my clients with respect, dignity and compassion. They did not make my clients feel any worse or any more guilty about the situation they
were in. My clients felt such relief when kmac started to deal directly with the creditors and helped them to budget and start to pay off their debts in a manageable way."

what others say
kmac client
"kmac has been very good to me. They have helped me a lot and got me up and running and almost out of debt. If it was not for them, I would still be in debt. When I first came to see them, I was low in myself and all I did was cry and said to them that I don’t know which way to go and they helped me get back on my feet.
​
They are lovely people. With their help, I am back to work in a care job. I’m still in a bit of debt but will hopefully be sorted soon."
kmac client
"kmac came into my life when I was overwhelmed and felt like I was drowning and felt alone. kmac have been my advocate, my voice and guide. They have helped me organise things and learn to stand on my own feet. I can't thank the kmac team enough for their support, their knowledge and the friendship they have offered my family.
​
Debt can make you feel alone, hopeless and make you feel like giving up. With kmac, they gave me the strength to see things through. The kindness they have showed my children has been overwhelming."
family mosaic
“I have worked on several occasions with kmac, referring clients to them who need a high level of support with their debts. I have found kmac easy to approach and refer to and extremely professional, but also personable in their way of relating to clients.
Thinking of clients I have had with particularly challenging mental health needs.
kmac have built positive and successful working relationships
with them, which have led to good outcomes for the client regarding their debts. I would not hesitate to refer to kmac again. Generic support workers such as ourselves need this specialist money advice service.
