The ‘Worrying About Money?’ leaflets are a new straightforward resource for people in Shropshire facing financial crisis, and anyone supporting them.
You can see quickly the available advice and cash first support options and which local agencies are best placed to help.
The Leaflet aims to reduce the need for emergency food aid by
- helping people access any existing financial entitlements and
- give advice on income maximisation as a cash first response to food insecurity.
Leaflets are already in circulation in Scotland and other areas of England. The project recognises that many frontline staff and volunteers find it difficult to keep up to date with financial options and services that can help. Many also struggle to feel confident to speak to people about money worries and help them.
Our hope is that this leaflet will help both those in need of support, and those working to help them, to navigate what can sometimes be a complex system.
