Tomorrow, Saturday December 19, the CRC 102.9 fm current affairs programme Saturday Forum will feature a debate on a side of Christmas which most of us, fortunately, never experience. To many people Christmas is a time of plenty, a time of joy and happiness, but there are others for whom Christmas is a time of great worry and stress, a time when concerns about money and the basic necessities of life come to the fore.
To help deal with these issues, and more, organisations that are devoted to offering advice and practical support will be represented on the show. Included are the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, MABS, the Money Advice and Budgeting Service, and the Citizens Information Centre
The hour-long programme, which is presented by Stephen Burns, will be broadcast live from 11.30am and listeners are invited to phone CRC 102.9 fm with their comments or questions on 094 902 5555.
