Community Link Christmas Grotto

Radian hosted a free community event for its residents in Windsor to promote Christmas spirit. The Christmas Grotto, held at the Alma Road Youth Centre and funded by Community Link, a community group of Radian residents, provided a range of free activities for the children, from face painting to arts and crafts, with Santa on hand to offer the youngsters a present each. As well as hosting a day of free activities, Radian staff also provided advice to their residents on avoiding Christmas debt.

Christmas can put a great deal of pressure on your finances and can be particularly difficult if you already have debt problems. Many people find themselves paying off debt accumulated from Christmas well into the New Year. Radian recommends that if residents do get into financial difficulties, they should talk to Radian about it or get advice from their local Citizens’ Advice Bureau.

Ian Nixey, CEO, Citizens Advice Bureau in Maidenhead says, "Christmas is a time of giving and it’s all too easy to overspend. There are enticing offers and pressures to buy and it can be tempting to ignore how much you are spending, but this may lead to problems in the New Year. Planning, budgeting and organisation are key to avoid getting into debt at Christmas and beyond."

Radian’s Gemma Stephenson, added: "Radian would like to wish all of our residents a very Happy Christmas and New Year!"
