Impact and insights from the Financial Shield project

Financial Shield, a pioneering pilot embedding financial advice in GP surgeries in South London, has shown how easing financial pressures can improve health and free up vital resources for the NHS. The findings come as the Government’s 10-Year Health Plan promises to integrate debt support into new Neighbourhood Health Services. This means local health commissioners shifting resources to deliver a more holistic focus on health equity, and prevention.

HOW CAN YOU HELP

Our work makes a real difference to lower income households. We were leaders in the campaign for caps on the costs that payday lenders and rent-to-own firms can charge, which has saved borrowers an estimated £150 million per year since 2015. And our FlexMyRent project could eliminate the need for social housing tenants to incur any interest at all.

Most recently we have been supporting the We are Debt Advisers campaign from our own revenues.   We therefore welcome donations, of any size, which we can put towards current and future campaigns.
