Niall Alexander of @CarnegieUKTrust talks about how affordable credit is not always defined by price and should be thought about more in terms of value proposition - the value of a credit product (or any product) is determined by individual consumers #MAS30
School savings schemes, like this one from @cambriancredu help pupils learn the value of money and boost their numeracy skills. If your school would like to set up school savings, contact us for details. https://t.co/zGzpDuMy0u
@moneyadvicescot thanks for the invite to speak at #MAS30 about @CarnegieUKTrust position on affordable credit, wicked problems, illogically logical decisions and the value proposition. There are certainly causes for optimism in scaling up social lenders activity.
We're grateful to @NormanLamb for helping us highlight the impact that intimidating #debt letters can have on someone's #mentalhealth. This is why we're calling on the government to Stop the #DebtThreats - you can help us by signing our petition today → https://t.co/YgtesDn9ob
In 2018, 35% of clients said a reduction in income or benefits was the main reason for their financial difficulties. That’s an increase of 7% since 2017 https://t.co/JuWb6KcX68 #ScotlandintheRed#mas30
And thanks also to @michaelsheen for his generous video introduction message, congratulations for @moneyadvicescot’s 30th anniversary, and his dedicated work with @EHCCAlliance to replace high-cost credit with more affordable solutions for people in debt #MAS30
Poverty in the UK is expensive. Increasingly it has an age dimension: 22 per cent of people born between 1981 and 2000 are likely to be living in poverty by their late twenties.
Unless something gives we are setting a generation up with poverty and debt https://t.co/d1rvYkkbMk
People on low incomes are locked in a vicious cycle of struggling to make ends meet and high costs. Thank you .@simonnread for yesterday's .@EveningStandard article on the #PovertyPremium + for sharing Ayo's story. It isn't fair that the less money you have, the more life costs.
