Great to see this piece on our No Interest Loan Scheme... It's taken so much work and advocacy to get it going (thanks especially to (@SianWilliams41) and there is so much potential to make it bigger again to address the cost of living crisis.

We’re delighted that @jpmorgan are committing £1.2m in support of our #NILS pilot. It will mean more people in vulnerable circumstances get affordable loans to help them get back on their feet bit.ly/3CPKFtY #InclusiveEconomy #FinancialInclusion #NILS #LevellingUp

We’ve all experienced some grief during the pandemic. Those in frontline roles are facing more aggression and anger from customers as a result. Join our workshop for #CommunityFinance providers this week with @DignityLegacy to explore support strategies bit.ly/3b4wPXE
