Guarantee our Essentials Campaign

We live in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and yet people in the UK are going without the essentials we all need to get by.

Anyone’s circumstances can change. Losing your job, needing to care for a sick family member – these are things that can happen to any of us.

We need a system in place that supports us all when we need it.

But right now, Universal Credit is not providing enough to cover the cost of all the essentials, like food, household bills and travel costs.

Join us, the Trussell Trust and Joseph Rowntree Foundation in calling on the UK Government to guarantee that the basic rate of Universal Credit will at least cover the essentials
