Our CEO @Jessicataplin was concerned to hear about the tough challenges facing families right now at @Bromley_by_Bow and impressed by the compassionate, eloquent advice team dedicated to supporting them #fuelpoverty #energy
meeting @Bromley_by_Bow Energy & Money Advice Team, they’ve seen surge in demand for energy advice & the urgent need for more financial support. Families in poverty have run out of options - their choice is between heating, eating or rent #fuelpoverty #energy

If anyone needs stark reminder of what #poverty means to some this winter, @Bromley_by_Bow advisor shared that one client’s only way of eating warm food was heating food in saucepan on their iron. Thanks to her advice the client now has access to support & a cooker #moneyadvisor

Unpaid carers are fighting the same battle as our social care staff and they do it behind closed doors and without sufficient recognition. They have feel ignored and forgotten since the start of the pandemic and without support for their own physical and emotional well-being

Please read new @peoplesbiz report that reflects experience and learning from our #CommunitiesDrivingChange programme.
Neighbourhoods are capable of amazing things but only with local investment and control 💪 #LevellingUp #BackingNeighbourhoods
REPORT 🧵 | Backing our neighbourhoods
Government must abandon its centralised, Westminster-led approach to #LevellingUp or risk failure.
It needs to de-centralise funding, invest in social infrastructure and put communities in the lead.
