On Monday morning, money saving expert Martin Lewis helped mental health charity Mind to launch their new campaign on debt and mental health at Canary Wharf.

Consumer champion Martin is the presenter of the Channel Five programme 'It pays to watch' and founder of the website http://www.moneysavingexpert.com. He joined Mind's Chief Executive Paul Farmer and a parade of piggy banks forming the number '91' to highlight that in Mind's new survey 91 per cent of people said that debt had worsened their mental health.

Mind will be working with Money Saving Expert over the next couple of months to produce a new advice booklet on financial difficulty and mental health issues.
