Pocket Power

Social enterprise tackling the #PovertyPremium by helping people on low incomes find better deals on their household bills.

[Policy in Practice @policy_practice]

📢 We’re excited to announce a new partnership between Policy in Practice and @_PocketPower, bringing together our shared mission to help housing providers deliver faster, more effective support to residents. 💪

Policy in Practice has helped 770,000 housing association residents increase their income in the last year by identifying over £6,800 per year in unclaimed benefits and support for each person who was missing out.

🧩 This is a direct result of partners using our software to directly inform people of benefits they are eligible for and missing out on.

This partnership connects our Better Off Calculator with Pocket Power’s money-saving services, enabling housing advisors to refer residents for financial help with a single click.

✅ Residents can access unclaimed benefit, lower their bills and increase their financial resilience

✅ Advisors benefit from a smooth, fully accessible referral process

✅ Housing providers see stronger engagement, reduced arrears and better outcomes

@Deven_Ghelani, Founder and Director of Policy in Practice said:

“This partnership is about impact at scale. We’re giving housing providers a commercial edge by reducing arrears, increasing efficiency, and improving tenant satisfaction — all through smarter, integrated support. As the cost of living rises and welfare complexity deepens, simplifying support delivery is no longer optional; it’s essential.”

Helen Burgess, Managing Director, Pocket Power added:

“Combining our services, Policy in Practice’s income maximisation and Pocket Power’s expenditure reduction, is a powerful and simple way to increase the financial resilience of the people we work with. It makes sense for housing providers and for their residents, reducing time and stress for both.

We’re delighted to be joining forces with Policy in Practice and look forward to helping residents achieve financial stability more quickly.”

5 million people are in a negative budget.

They don’t have enough money coming in to cover their expenses and they’re building up debt and cutting back or going without essentials to get by... 🧵

New @barnardos research on growing crisis requests for children's beds and bedding highlights urgent need to extend Household Support Fund beyond March. We're proud to be a signatory on this letter to @Jeremy_Hunt to ask that HSF is extended

[Barnardo’s @barnardos]

Alongside our new research, we’ve written to the Chancellor with 120+ organisations calling for an urgent extension to the Household Support Fund which ends next month.

The clock is ticking with devastating consequences if @Jeremy_Hunt doesn’t act now.

2.2m people over the age of 75 don't have access to the internet, which means they can't get better deals online. That’s why we’re working on a pilot with @_PocketPower 💪🏽

We’re looking forward to helping older people across Bucks save money💡

This should not be happening 😥. There also shouldn't be £19bn of unclaimed benefits a year 😖. We want to help connect as many people as possible to that £19bn to help stop this from happening #costofliving #pocketpower #financialinclusion
