The Government-backed Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) is offering a new source for financial support.

MoneyHelper, which launched in June, has been created to give everyone access to free and impartial financial guidance on a range of issues, either online or over the phone.

This includes savings, debt and budgeting, as well as pensions and retirement.

It merges the services previously provided by:

• The Money Advice Service
• The Pensions Advisory Service and
• Pension Wise

These services will no longer exist under separate names.
