Birmingham Forward Steps Conference
We are delighted to be at the Birmingham Forward Steps conference today, Monday 22nd November. In Birmingham 37% of children are living in poverty, that’s 100,000. The Covid-19 pandemic has made things worse; a 4.7% increase. So many organisations in our city working together to tackle the problems many households are facing. As a credit union, AdvanceCU supports many local families manage their money well, able to save regularly and borrow affordably when they need to.
Some of the leaflets we’re distributing today are free and available from MoneyHelper, the new resource from the Money Advice Service and the Illegal Money Lending Team.
