thread_title:  Government reports 

message: I've edited the recently-added 'Funding' section as it focuses too heavily on links to major banks. Perhaps accidentally the contributor's tone infers that we (CCCS) are not transparent with our work. I've retained the references the contributor has picked as they're good links.

thread_title:  Funding section 

message: The CCCS earned over £27 million pounds last year. I've posted this and it's been removed. I think the success of this UK charity should be recognised. All comments have references alongside them. 
I just saw your comment above. I think the size of CCCS gets underestimated and it's important to recognise the enormous size of this charity and the work it does - £27 million income in one year is huge and clearly well earned. I feel it's important information.
Update:
I feel that income only shows half the picture hence the original edit. I hope it's OK that instead of income I've put that the "debt under management" (i.e. the unsecured debt overseen by CCCS) totalled £3.58bn in 2010, as detailed in the CCCS Stats Yearbook 2010. That should really show the enormous size of the charity!

thread_title:  Post 

message: Consumer Credit Counselling Service changes its name on Monday (5th November 2012), to StepChange Debt Charity. For the Wikipedia page, what is the recommended action? 
Options are: new page on StepChange Debt Charity with a link from the text on this page, a straight redirect from the web address to the new one, or something else?
Advice gratefully received... (Oh, and no idea why this font size is so small)

:I have moved the page here, added a citation, and changed the name in the article.--Unionhawk Talk E-mail 22:35, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rebrand change of name 

message: I've updated the page slightly. 
In the locations section of the page, I've deleted two cities where the charity no longer has a base, and add the provision of debt advice in Ireland, recently announced. 
In the funding section I've added a couple of other creditors and updated the link to the latest charity statement on the Charity Commission page.

thread_title:  Update to various small details 

message: The article has been extensively edited, in good faith, by an editor with an apparent professional connection with the organisation. For editors with a WP:Conflict of interest, I strongly recommend that future edits be proposed here at the talk page, as the article currently reads a bit like a brochure.

thread_title:  Conflict of interest 

message: Hi, yes, I have a professional connection with the organisation, and I certainly don't want to hide this. All changes I've made over the past 10 years have been done in good faith, hghlighting that I'm an employee.
However, I'll not make any further updates to the page, and leave to the crowd to update. 
I would recommend the CEO name is updated - Phil Andrew left the organisation at the end of April 2023 and was replaced on 1 May 2023 by Vikki Brownridge. https://www.stepchange.org/media-centre/press-releases/stepchange-appoints-new-ceo.aspx
