We know from our research that low-income consumers are disproportionately affected by higher car insurance premiums. Research conducted earlier this year with @PFRC_uk showed that the car insurance poverty premium can be over £500 each year.

Advice services can alleviate financial hardship or prevent future spirals (in a more sustained way than food-based responses alone), but many will continue to struggle due to factors such as high rents, essential costs, insufficient income from social security and low earnings

We independently evaluated the money matters advice and support services provided through @TrussellUK food banks. The evaluation provides insights not only for Trussell, but for others providing advice and support services, those who fund services, and policy makers.

🧵 Did you know that food banks provide advice with money matters? Alongside emergency parcels, food banks provide practical support to people who've been left without enough money to live on. When someone is going through a tough time, this support helps to take pressure off.

New vlog👇At last night’s leaders debate no one mentioned the appalling levels of hunger & hardship @TrussellTrust sees across the UK. 3.1 million emergency food parcels last year - it can’t go on. Every party needs a plan to change it. #GeneralElection trusselltrust.org/get-involved/c…

At #BPI2024. Clear evidence of rising financial insecurity from @SharonBCollard. Colours clearly show a rising tide of insecurity. Chimes with @jrf_uk's cost of living tracker.
