The Real Living Wage is now £12.60! The VCSE sector has some of the lowest numbers of Living Wage employers—we can do more to ensure fair pay for all. Become an accredited Living Wage employer: livingwage.org.uk or reach out to Macc for support! #LivingWageWeek

Our estimates show planned increases to employer national insurance contributions will cost the charity sector £1.4bn a year. Many charities will be forced to make difficult decisions to shoulder this heavy burden. Together with @ACEVO, we’re calling on @hmtreasury to take urgent action. Add your voice by co-signing the letter today. 🖊️ ncvo.org.uk/news-and-insight… #Budget2024

109 kids are being pulled into poverty every day the two-child limit remains in place. The government should scrap it at the Budget. #AllKidsCount

Centre for Mental Health@CentreforMH4 Sep 2024
📢 Our new research exposes the devastating impact of the cost-of-living crisis. Even as inflation rates are easing, many people are stuck in a vicious cycle battling the dual crises of poverty and poor mental health. Learn more: centreformentalhealth.org.uk… #JustLivingAndCoping
Just living and coping: The cost-of-living crisis and the nation's mental health

ALT Just living and coping: The cost-of-living crisis and the nation's mental health

The cost-of-living crisis and the nation's mental health. Quote: "Resilience is at an all-time low and it is like having a circular firing squad of pressures around you and you don’t know when it is going to end... It is impossible to give yourself firm foundations at the moment and to give yourself a life worth living."

Today is the international day of commemoration for victims of acts of violence based on religion or belief. Today we are thinking of those who have suffered or lost their lives due to unjustified violence and human rights abuses based on one’s religion.
