“They [UK govt] made that boost to Universal Credit at the start of the pandemic because they knew UC was not enough to live on, and they still know that. Covid is not going to take poverty away with it, so families, wherever they are, need that lifeline to stay.”

"There is near universal opposition to this cut, including from prominent Conservatives. It is time the government saw sense, backed struggling families and cancelled their cut to universal credit".

Two-thirds (62%) of those on #UniversalCredit are either in work, or not expected to work due to ill health, caring for a baby etc
The govt's narrative that cutting the £20 uplift is all about getting people back into work is a deliberate & pernicious falsehood #KeepTheLifeline

This whole "we need to cut Universal Credit to boost jobs" thing is really winding me up. There are six million people on Universal Credit, in a lot of different circumstances....

We thought we'd kick off #APLEMonth2021 with a little APLE Collective history! In February 2018, a number of groups led by people with direct experience of poverty were invited to meet up with the @Poverty2Sols alliance (@ATDFourthWorld, @doleanimators and @ThriveTeesside).

We're really excited about supporting this scheme. With so many hills in the valley we think e-bikes are key to active travel in our area🚲🚵

E-bikes coming to the valley. Thanks to great work by @GiniMorandi and Alex we have got a grant to buy some e-bikes to begin creating a community story about the differences that they make to active travel! #sustainabletravel

Poverty is intrinsically linked with discrimination creating a vicious cycle whereby single parents face challenges in multiple areas of their lives Single parent discrimination creates high poverty levels. @Kimbs_W8 @SglParentRights aplecollective.com/2021/04/s…
