This week our Advice team has been supporting the AdviceUK campaign to raise awareness of the need to invest in advice services.

The advice sector needs to recruit, train and retain skilled advisers so that Disabled people can get the help and support they need, especially when trying to navigate the complex and oppressive welfare benefits system.

Help us spread the word and advocate for stronger support for advice services across the UK.
