These are amazing figures showing the scale of help that the volunteers and staff of @CitizensAdvice provide across England & Wales, in response to a huge variety of problems that people are grappling with
Delighted that some of our practitioners are starting to deliver Building Resilience support at Cecil Jones Academy, @stmwestcliff & @WHSforBoys funded by the Southend Health Schools Project. Other schools starting soon! @SouthendBC @PHSouthend@Essex_Echo @EmmaPri22549419
What a final week at @CitizensAdvice I’m having - so many lovely goodbyes and words and “lasts”. It’s only Tuesday and I’m going to need more tissues clearly... #gulp
Huge congratulations to @SouthendCAB on being awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Services, which recognises outstanding work by volunteer groups to benefit local communities. What a way to celebrate #VolunteersWeek2021!

@ClareMoriarty Hi Clare - glad it's proving "so far so good" for you!
I'm sure your time will be in great demand in the coming days, weeks and months! Yes of course, I'll email you with the details of the MAPSDAP "Event", we don't have a firm date as yet - but we are aiming for late September.
@ClareMoriarty Morning Clare - welcome aboard! Hope your 2nd day in post is going well! I and colleagues in the MAPSDAP team are currently planning the annual "meetings" for MAPS Funded Debt Advice LCA's & just wondering if we may ask you to attend an online session? (September)
@ClareMoriarty@CitizensAdvice Welcome Aboard our Amazing Organisation Clare - I'm sure you will join us in being proud to work for Citizens Advice during every day of our involvement!
Extension of DRO criteria consultation is out - looks a great step forward to me (on brief reading). Main features:
Increase the total amount of debt allowable to £30,000 (from £20,000); Increase the value of assets owned by the individual to £2,000 (from £1000).
During the pandemic, the £20 weekly increase to #UniversalCredit has been vital for thousands of people in staying afloat. But the government is planning to cut it from April. This has to change. It’s time to #KeepTheLifeline > https://t.co/G8RCVi8SM6
What a job @EvolveEssex have done during this so challenging year in particular. Magnificent achievement and the award is deserved recognition of the unique work they do in making a huge difference to the well being, mental health and lives of so many Children and their Families!
