Image caption: Di Forbes says her job is to point people in the right direction of where they can get help
Di Forbes loves working for a debt charity but the growing queue of people in financial distress means helping them is becoming ever more demanding.
"It feels never-ending... it just doesn't stop," she said of the demand for help from Money Buddies in Leeds.
The charity's boss Saleem Shafi, told the BBC: "We're facing a debt tsunami and the sector is at breaking point."
Money Buddies chief executive Mr Shafi told me the rising number of people in debt meant government funding through the Money and Pensions Service did not go far enough.
"We're desperate for more funding to employ more face-to-face staff," he said.
"Our staff are under far too much pressure trying to help three times as many people as at this point last year," he said.r
Today's BBC News report highlights how important face-to-face support is at times of crisis, in the current climate and again we must ask RBKC "Why is WENAC being closed, when the community needs it most?"
