Working alongside Citizens Advice Manchester (CAM), Abta’s charitable arm also achieved benefit gains of £23,000 for industry professionals who struggled last year due to cost of living pressures.

The organisations work together to offer a "confidential and supportive" advice service to help people get back on their feet and take control of their finances. 

CAM provides a dedicated case worker giving advice over the phone. CAM’s advice is "often seen as life-changing, making a profound difference to not only the beneficiaries’ finances but also to their mental health and wellbeing".
