For Day 4 of #ChallengePovertyWeek, we're highlighting how advice tackles financial pressures on families.

We can't solve all of the causes of child poverty through advice. But we can continue working to ensure that families can maximise their income & protect their homes.

#AdviceOpensDoors

Children affected by imprisonment must be part of the #ChallengePovertyWeek conversation. 💙

Families of people in prison are recognised as at risk of poverty, facing lost income and extra costs.

#ItsTime #ChallengePovertyWeek

It's day 3 of #ChallengePovertyWeek and for today's theme of Fair Work we are sharing our Concept Explainer on Community Wealth Building.

CWB can help create fairer work by keeping money and jobs within local communities.

Fair work should pay the bills. But getting into work costs money too.

Advice can help with these barriers & our role in employability goes even further.

Our volunteering programme builds confidence, skills & can lead to an SCQF Level 6 qualification 💪

This #ChallengePovertyWeek, we’re highlighting the financial pressures faced by families affected by imprisonment. 💙

Additional costs can leave families facing impossible choices, including whether to heat their home or buy food.

Families deserve financial security. #CPW26

MPs word shape attitudes, attitudes shape policy and that shapes how our benefits system shows up for us when we need it. That's why I sent my MP a @turn2us.org.uk guide on how to talk about social security with accuracy and respect. Will you? #ChallengePovertyWeek

⚡ Energy costs are a poverty issue.

For Day 2 of #ChallengePovertyWeek, our energy adviser Scott highlights the pressure energy costs continue to place on already stretched household budgets.
