The recent Budget will no doubt prompt renewed debate – and disagreement – on the impact any economic recovery is having on real people.
Regardless of the politics the fact remains that there are millions of people in the UK who are genuinely struggling financially.
We hear on a daily basis of families having to make choices that most of us would find incomprehensible just to make ends meet.
So, amidst any discussion on whether the Budget is or isn’t going to help, it’s doubly important that people who are affected |by financial hardship know that there is practical and immediate help available – help with understanding benefits entitlements or seeking a grant to deal with an unexpected and adverse event.
Charities like Turn2us can provide practical and simple help in understanding what financial support is available to those who are struggling.
Anyone who is worried about their situation can find us at www.turn2us.org.uk.
