One year ago, we embarked on a journey with the Guarantee the Essentials Campaign alongside The Trussell Trust and Joseph Rowntree Foundation. Today, our petition closed, but our commitment to affordability for all essentials continues. 💙 #OneYearStrong #OurEssentials
📢 Together with Joseph Rowntree Foundation, we’re campaigning for an Essentials Guarantee to be embedded in Universal Credit.
Here’s what that means and how it would help people on the lowest incomes. 👇 💚

It’s time for an Essentials Guarantee & for Scottish Government to look at how we can ensure devolved benefits cover the cost of essentials too.

At £85 a week for a single person & £134 for a couple, Universal Credit is not calculated on what people need.
It doesn't add up. 🧾
Join us & Joseph Rowntree Foundation to call on the UK Govt to guarantee Universal Credit covers #OurEssentials 👉 bit.ly/3IYD54I
🗣️ “If you are having to survive on £35 less than you need week in week out to afford the essentials, then debt becomes inevitable. How is this sustainable?”
It isn’t.
Help guarantee #OurEssentials by emailing your MP and ask them to take action now 👉 bit.ly/3LuMAKh
