Just one thing… Sinéad O’Connor, Manager of Cheetham Hill Advice Centre
“The impact of no recourse to public funds has been on my mind a lot lately. No recourse to public funds (NRPF) is seen as a minority issue but it is a significant cause of poverty so it should be a priority issue for us all. We think that the welfare state is available to all that need help. In reality, there are many people in the UK who do not have an automatic right to that support - the help and support the rest of us take for granted.

Never More Needed
It’s an old question: “have you ever wondered what it would be like if….?” (Bit of a cliché in fact, but go with me, it’s the end of a long difficult year...)
On the day I’m writing this, we’re asking that question about the work of local charities, community groups, faith groups, voluntary organisations and social enterprises. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if they just weren’t there?
We’re participating in Purple Tuesday 3 November 2020
Purple Tuesday was created and is co-ordinated by Purple, a fast-growing disability organisation working with businesses to convert strategic intent into a set of achievable actions and activities.
Purple Tuesday is Purple’s flagship programme which supports businesses to improve the customer experience for disabled people.
