What results do we get for our clients?

  • I am writing to say a big THANK YOU for the amazing help you all provide to our people here... The feedback we get from our team is always so positive and that your budgeters make such a difference. I see our sailors go from feeling overwhelmed to being in control of their financial situation. We so appreciate the work you do. Thanks again.

    Long term partner organisation

  • My family felt buried by debt. Now we have buried (a small) treasure in our backyard. I never would have imagined we would have spare cash to spark our kids' imaginations! From stressing out over the credit card bill to pretending to be pirates... we have come a long way.

    2022 Client

  • I had no idea a service like this was free, available to everyone, and based in my community! I am making much better choices with my finances now after speaking to one of your financial mentors.

    2022 Client

  • With their [NH Budgeting Financial Mentor's] help I got back up on my feet. Having an advisor like this has been a magical experience. It has literally been life changing.

    2023 Client

  • My advisor got me to work out household costs and annual expenditures. This in itself was an enlightening process. I noticed my depression lifting as I began to take control of my life again. Through the advisors counselling and support I was able to write and summarise my negative experiences with the bank. My advisor then represented those for me to the bank. For the first time I was taken seriously by the bank and got some positive responses.

    2023 Client

  • I not only recommend the NH Budgeting service, I think they should be compulsory.

What drives our team?

  • I work in financial advice, where I deal with very wealthy clients. Volunteering with NH Budgeting allows me to not only give back to those who may be less privileged, but it also allows me to increase the financial literacy of those who aren't already wealthy. It's meeting people on their stage of the financial journey - and supporting them as they move along it.

  • I love knowing I am serving my community. Community is the heart and soul of a country, and as things get more volatile overseas I am determined to invest my time into helping my community right here. When there is more financial security, there is more social stability. It starts at home.

    2023 Financial mentor

  • Seeing a young couple buy their first house, or manage their household budgets to provide for their children and reach their financial goals - that's what makes it all worth it for me. It takes an objective and experienced 'outsider' to rework a budget from the ground up. And it takes someone with experience in 'beating debt' to view a situation with hope.

    2023 Financial mentor

  • NH Budgeting is an honest charity. The Board and the Mentors give their all to make sure all our donations go towards the community, making personal sacrifices to help out our neighbours - who become our friends.
