If you're a single person, can you survive on £9 a day after you've paid your rent? That's the current level you'd need to live on to qualify for legal aid. For a couple with 2 children it's £41 a day or £1234 a month. Thanks to the Law Society: lght.ly/5cje3pm

A client recently contacted us because he and his family were going to be evicted because of mortgage arrears. They fell behind on repayments when he lost his job. We've helped to negotiate an affordable payment plan with his provider, allowing them to keep their home.

1 in 6 people referred to our food banks have no internet. That's 1 in 6 who can't access the internet to search for jobs, manage bills or keep in touch with family. But we CAN change this - by updating our social security system so it covers the costs of the essentials. 💚

The Breathing Space scheme can give you a bit more time to work out your debts, without the added pressure of action being taken against you. You should work with a debt advisor to find a long-term solution and can apply through a regulated debt advisor or your local council
