Our team will work with clients remotely, and we will continue to assess the situation in the local area. Thank you for your support and understanding.

Alongside several other local Bristol organisations, Talking Money’s office is closed and boarded up today due to the threat posed by planned far right group activities in the area.

We are appalled by the terrible events unfolding across the country and in our city.

[Talking Money @talkingmoneyuk]

There is absolutely no place for racism, violence and hatred. We stand united today and always with the people affected.

The safety and well-being of our staff, clients and communities is our priority.

[Bristol Law Centre @BrisLawCentre]

People who think poverty isn't real, or brought about by choice, that there isn't vast #inequality in our country and #bristol, or that we are all equally affected by #CostOfLiving ...should watch this and think hard. The sinking ship metaphor is a powerful one...well said Samuel
