As we move into the new financial year for 2024 this image always brings us back to the reality our people are communities are facing but also the strength in our sector as lived experience organisations, enabling voices to be heard, and access to opportunity for all @BC_Futures
People who are looking for work often need a lot more support than can be offered by standard #employability models. We know from experience this really is the tip of the ice-berg. That is why #charities and the #voluntarysector play such a crucial role in #employment support.
Today see's the minimum income requirement that spouses of British and settled people need in order to enter or stay in the UK increase, with further increases due in 2025.
Take a look at what these costs will be, and how it will impact people:

@YF_Foundation@ersa_news Really interesting to hear from Catherine about what Really helps young people to be able to be included in the workforce and how their mental health has been affected by the pandemic, and economic and political instability .
