Financial Fitness are a charity who's aim is to relieve the poverty of Inverclyde residents through information, advice and guidance. Our main service is free, independent welfare benefit advice for all Inverclyde residents, regardless of age, background or status. We can offer benefit checks, form filling support, income maximisation advice, advocacy and support to submit Mandatory Reconsiderations and Appeals etc., to help ensure local people claim and maintain the correct amount of benefits they are entitled to. We also support unemployed working age individuals to make the financial transition from benefits into employment by maximising their income and accessing in-work and return to work benefits.

In 2024-25 we supported over 2,000 local residents and generated over £5m worth of financial outcomes.
