Universal Credit doesn't add up
We know that change happens when people think differently about an issue, that's why, in the next step for the Guarantee Our Essentials campaign, we're hoping to grab the attention of the general public with a different approach.
We're in London raising awareness that Universal Credit just doesn't add up. We have transformed a billboard in Finsbury Park into a 'till-board' which is spooling out an enormous receipt revealing examples of living costs from people who receive Universal Credit, demonstrating the huge gap between the £85 a week an adult receives and the actual cost of the essentials we all need.
This is sparking conversations with passers-by and our social media is buzzing with updates from the site. But we need your help to reach more people. Share our post
Please share this social media post to help us reach more of the general public with the message that Universal Credit simply doesn't add up.
Thank you.
Together we can move more people to learn about our campaign and urge them to join us in calling on the UK government to guarantee our essentials.
