Justine was a finalist in the Debt Counsellor of the Year award.  She attended the ceremony with Debt Advice Foundation trustee Karol Sanderson.

Justine said: “It was lovely to have been nominated – as a team we all work hard to try to make a real difference for people who are facing terrible difficulties with debt.

“Making the finals was a big surprise – we are quite a new organisation and I didn't expect to get this far when so many other large organisations were in the frame. 

“It was a great evening, and although I didn’t win it was great to see another debt advice charity, StepChange, take the trophy.”

Debt Advice Foundation was also a finalist in the 2012 Credit Today awards, when its groundbreaking peer-to-peer financial education project was shortlisted for the Money Advice Initiative award.
