"We really need to make sure that there is continuous funding for projects to go beyond just providing a service, but to create relationships in the community."

100,000 unpaid carers in Scotland are living in poverty, a shocking statistic from @CarersTrustScot that mirrors our own Trussell research.
Everyone should be able to afford the essentials. Increasing the incomes of unpaid carers must be a Scottish & UK Govt priority ⤵️
📢 Today we launch our new report 'Poverty and financial hardship of unpaid carers in Scotland'. Read the full report, including our recommendations to the Scottish and UK governments here: carersuk.org/media/irmjazgw/…

Million meals provided. Quite a humbling milestone but the stark reality of poverty in the city. Over 35% of stoke on Trent live in the lowest 10% of deprivation in the country with over 50% in the lowest 20%. Much more work to be done

In this week’s blog I reflect on the growing issues of #mentalhealth support for #older Scots. We simply need to start prioritising older people in Scotland. #TalktoUs. #NSAD24 #SamaritansAwareness #depression.

This is incredible by the team.
However we are still at risk of funding cuts !
The team have over 150 years experience in advice giving between them.
Already this year we have client financial gains of over £2million!
This is through income maximisation work/ debt renegotiation &write offs/ help with housing issues etc

Will never understand why folks don’t ask people who are working on the frontline their opinion of how to assist people struggling due to cost of living crisis.
I was gutted there was no coverage on tv too !
One of the best bands I have ever seen live. Still fabulous now
Cool for Cats was my 1st album purchased.

Squeeze celebrating their 50th anniversary by opening Glastonbury.
Seen them live countless times. They *never* disappoint (check out their YouTube channel!)
Bit baffled why they haven’t made the telly or iPlayer coverage this year?
