It’s #TalkMoneyWeek!
The week is about encouraging everyone to open up about money and show you the support available.
We know it can be a scary first step to speak to us if you're struggling to pay your rent or service charge. We are here for you. accentgroup.org/for-tenants/…

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...

Back at work after furlough, but in debt, a resident couldn't have that open and honest conversation straight away. When they did, and other support needs came to light, we could help and the resident’s life is now back on track #TalkMoney #TalkMoneyWeek
