# Clean Slate Ltd

Clean Slate Ltd is a Bath-based social enterprise dedicated to helping low-income households achieve financial resilience and improve their quality of life. Through their flagship *Quids in!* Money Guidance programme, they support people to organise their finances, secure employment or progress into better work, and develop digital skills—ultimately helping them reach their potential for improved wellbeing and greater control over their circumstances.

The organisation serves vulnerable members of the community facing financial hardship, particularly during periods of economic crisis. Their approach is built on genuine empathy and lived understanding, encapsulated in their promise: "We see you. We hear you. We are you."

What distinguishes Clean Slate is their holistic, four-pillar model combining information services, one-to-one coaching, practical training, and sector development work. Rather than offering generic advice, they provide personalised support that addresses the everyday money management skills often absent from formal education—budgeting, debt management, and financial planning. Client testimonials reveal the profound impact of their work; users report feeling less isolated, safer, and able to "breathe again" after receiving support.

The organisation actively addresses the cost of living crisis, encouraging people to "get ahead and get in control" rather than withdraw from financial challenges. Their accessible drop-in centres across Bath provide free or low-cost support, with many offices operating Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, making help genuinely available when people need it most.
