We all want ‘breathing space’ to work.

But Government isn’t listening.  Its proposals for the scheme haven’t changed since the Covid outbreak.
The world we all live in has. With millions more of us struggling to make ends meet.
As debt advisers, we need to be given the time to do our jobs properly. And people in debt need real solutions.
Government needs to listen to the front-line.

We need more time to help people claim the benefits they are entitled to and people who have lost their jobs need more time and support to get back into work.
The sixty days ‘breathing space’, which has been introduced, just isn’t long enough. Especially when unemployment is forecast to increase by a further million in the next year.
We also want action to prevent debt problems from turning into long-term poverty. People in debt need to be able to live with dignity and many will need a ‘fresh start’.
Let’s give people in debt a real chance for a better future.
