Research highlights devastating financial impact of pandemic on young lower income women
It was clear right from the start that Covid shone a super trouper on the inequalities in our society. As older, more affluent office workers worked from home and saw their bank balances increase, younger, lower income workers kept us fed and cared for. New research commissioned by a number of women's organisations, including Close the Gap, Engender and the Fawcett Society has laid bare the impact on women on low incomes. Younger women were more adversely affected than older women andhit than lower income men. Even before the pandemic hit, the report says that almost half of young women ...

As leaders of our respective groups, we urge you to do the right thing by those families. The £20 uplift to Universal Credit has helped so many families and has stopped us ...

Every year I swear I'm going to read all the Conference papers in good time, carefully craft speeches before Conference begins and be well prepared. I'd sort my diary well ahead of time so I knew what I'd be doing and when. Every year the reality is somewhat different. For in-person conferences, I'd be reading the papers and motions and writing speeches on the train on the way down, having panic-thrown every item of clothing I possess into a suitcase to take with me. I suspect that I may be far from unique in this. This year's Conference begins in ...
Anybody looking to the UK Government to solve England's homelessness crisis may have to think again. According to the Independent, the bulk of the government's new £8.6bn "affordable homes programme" will be directed at helping homebuyers rather than renters. The paper says that out of the 119,000 new homes being built, 57,000 will be for ownership, and just 29,600 will be for social rent.
