Real financial inclusion requires systemic equity. This week, leaders from financial services, civil society, policy, and government will gather at the @fair4allfinance Annual Financial Inclusion Conference.
We are really proud to see us quoted in the newly released @Fair4AllFinance Impact Report 2023-2026!Reflecting on the impact of Leveling the Playing Field research and our collaboration, our CEO Muna highlights the vital role research & partnership play in driving systemic change
"Fair4All’s Levelling the Playing Field report was a landmark moment for the communities Rooted Finance serves. It clearly exposed the systemic,cultural &structural barriers that stop people from minority ethnic communities accessing financial products & services on equal terms."

Feeling the financial squeeze this summer? You aren't alone, and you don't have to face it by yourself.
The summer break brings extra costs - food, travel, childcare, and activities. When costs stack up, it's easy for debt to creep in.
We can help by things that include:
➡️Dealing with rent arrears, credit cards, or council tax➡️Accessing Emergency food & fuel vouchers
Applying for grants & extra benefits
Providing debt solutions (Repayment Plans, Breathing Space, Debt Relief Orders, Bankruptcy)
