Today, we're calling on the next UK Government to bring forward a National Financial Inclusion Strategy to address the high levels of financial exclusion across the UK.

ALT The case for prioritising a new National Financial Inclusion Strategy: 22% of adults have started or increased their borrowing because of the cost of living (ONS) 14% of transactions are made with cash (UK Finance) 50% of those aged 75+ used a bank branch in the last year (FCA) 5% of households have no current account (DWP) 15% of UK adults (8.1 million people) need debt advice (MaPS)

As the UK General Election approaches, we at the Financial Inclusion Commission (FIC) are thrilled to see significant financial inclusion policies in the manifestos of major parties.
Been too busy to keep up? Here's a round up, in order of when the manifestos came out 🧵👇

🚨OUT TODAY: New paper on using inclusive design to create a fair transition to net zero
👇🧵We worked with @Ofgem and @ToynbeeHall to show that inclusive design of policy can help to ensure essential services meet the needs of all consumers, including people on low incomes.

This is why @FairByDesign & partners are pushing for a new requirement for @TheFCA to AT LEAST CONSIDER the needs of the the most financially excluded in society.

"It’s electric to be connected with women so open to discussing money and climate." ⚡️Brilliant to hear about Rituja's experience of taking part in a Money Movers peer-group this summer, hosted by @baileytalks!

Tragic news
The latest @CornwallInsight prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr)
Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...

Never mind eh, just the people being most impacted by the cost of living crisis
And a reminder that 40% of UC claimants are in work

£500m extra for councils to help the poorest, but nothing extra for Universal Credit. Most benefits to rise by 3.1% with inflation at 6.2% and could rise. A scary time ahead for millions of families with record rise in social & private rents on top of food, fuel, energy prices.

Remarkable quote from OBR document. Biggest fall in living standards since records began in 1950s

If you want a 1 year old child in nursery full time so you can work, you'll need to find £14k. The Chancellor had chance today to invest in childcare so that more people could work - he didn't even mention children today, showing he doesn't understand the pressures family face.
