Who are CMA Bentley?

CMA Bentley is a free independent debt advice charity, based in Bentley (original, we know)! We are a ministry of St Peter’s Church, registered charity number 1191023. Our moto is that we are faith based, not faith biased, which means we’re here for everyone. Our clients live across the City of Doncaster, you don’t need to live in Bentley for us to help you. CMA Bentley is affiliated to the national charity Community Money Advice network.

Since opening in December 2019, we have supported 321 local residents and dealt with  £3,831,814.18 worth of debt. Thats some pretty big statistics for a small team providing very in depth case work. We are very proud of everything we have achieved during our operations, and more proud of our clients and the positive changes they have made in their lives.

Sadly, it is the end of the season for CMA Bentley and we are closing permanently on 30th November 2025. What this means is we can no longer accept new clients to give us time to resolve our current open cases.

We understand this is very sad news for our community, but please do not be sad for us and our team. Instead celebrate all that we have achieved and the impact this small operation has had on its community. This is all led by our faith in Jesus and we are listening to where God is calling us to in the next chapters of our individual stories.

If you have any questions, please call us on 01302 637336. We also have a self help page for our top tips for making a start.

Where can I get help now?

I was a client and need to access my data. How can I do this?

We store all of your data for 6 years from the date of your file being closed at CMA Bentley. Your records are stored electronically, and should you need access to them prior to us closing you can submit a data request in the usual way directly to us. After this date, you will need to contact the national Community Money Advice directly, and they will be able to help you access this information.
