The basic rate of Universal Credit is £35 less than what people need in order to afford the essentials.
It doesn't add up.
Join us and @jrf_uk to call on the government to guarantee that Universal Credit will at least cover #OurEssentials 👉 bit.ly/3IYD54I

Today’s #Budget may have given the impression that all older people are financially secure. This is simply not true.
Every day, we hear older people are skipping meals and terrified to use their heating. They need reassurance beyond the next three months.

🧵 We’re encouraged that today’s #Budget2023 has made some steps towards supporting people facing hardship.
But, there is more work to be done ⤵️

The photo shows a food bank volunteer taking someone through support that can be offered from the food bank. A quote on top reads: "This winter has been incredibly challenging for people on the lowest incomes, and for many it has deepened the hardship they have already been facing for some time." - By Emma Revie, Chief Executive at the Trussell Trust
