Christians Against Poverty (CAP) has a good reputation in the UK.
They give training on financial wisdom and help people get their life back on track.
Interesting one simple advice they give is to prefer using cash over credit/debit cards to keep a better idea of spending. Withdraw X amount a week and be disciplined to stay within your means. They give other counselling and assistance as per their website.
"releasing people from poverty, debt, unemployment and addiction".

I'm a U.S. citizen, and although there are many charities that are reputable and good works. I feel that in light of a lot of the advancements in technology that civil liberties are of penultimate importance moving forward.
In that, I support the ACLU, NRA and EFF. I can't speak for anyone but myself here. I feel that each of the three charities cover part of the overall need, so all are truly needed.
