@LoveWilko Thanks I'll message now :)

@LoveWilko we use your notebooks for our volunteers in our Help Centre as they meet with people in need - any chance your Ammanford branch might be able to donate some more? We're running out due to the number of people we see needing help! Any help would be great!

[Mind @MindCharity]

Anxious? That’s okay. Here’s a few things that might help 👇🏾

Spend the day in comfortable company
Plan an activity for after the alert
Check in with your support network

PS. For whatever reason you have one, and need to keep it hidden, turn your second phone off 💙

🧵 Right now Universal Credit doesn’t cover the costs of all the essentials we need to get by.

So today, we’re at Finsbury Park with @jrf_uk with the receipt to prove it.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

The basic rate of Universal Credit is £85 a week, but our research with @jrf_uk shows that, in order to cover the essentials, it needs to be at least £120.

It doesn’t add up.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

This is forcing people across the UK to go without the essentials, and is pushing them to food banks.

Our Chief Executive, Emma Revie, spoke about how this is affecting people across the UK right now.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

Ben, who volunteers at @WarringtonFB and was previously supported by the food bank himself, also told us how people in his local community have been affected.

[MoneyHelper @MoneyHelperUK]

We have updated our Pension Credit help pages, so go over and check out our updated guide now. https://t.co/fZsHxUZgxv

@parkerplanthire Thank you so much for all your support now and in the future! ❤️

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

From next month, #UniversalCredit will be set at £85 a week for a single adult, but there’s a significant gap between this and living costs. Our research shows that in order to cover the essentials, it must be increased to at least £120 p/w. https://t.co/RsUwJcJmQn #OurEssentials
