How It Works
Corona-Finance: Our Response to the Lockdown
All the locations we would usually work from are closed. But our teams of support workers are happy to take calls and emails from people who live locally to one of our Quids In Centres in the each of the areas listed below. You can talk through your money worries, your work options and ways to make more of the internet during the current crisis. Each area has a slightly different offer so click on the one below that’s closest to you to find out more:

Clean Slate's support can be divided in to three categories: Money Matters, Finding Work and Getting Online.
Money Matters
Drop in to one of our centres and we'll help you take control of your finances. We'll work with you on your budgeting and help you check you're getting all the financial support you are entitled to.
3 Bs Training (1 day)
|
All of our centres hold regular 3 Bs money skills training days. It doesn't matter if you are new to us or have been working with us for a while, everyone is welcome at our free one-day training, where we'll cover Budgeting, Banking and Being online (the 3 Bs).

Finding Work
We know how hard it can be to get back into work after periods of unemployment. We know this because everyone who works at Clean Slate has experienced this first hand. We'll help you look at your job goals, the things that might be holding you back and the steps you need to take to achieve your ideal job.
7 Signs Training (2-days)
|
Our two day 7 Signs training looks at the seven key issues that show we are ready for work. Sessions are relaxed and learning is done through group work supervised by a Clean Slate staff. Once you have completed day two of the training you will be eligible for paid work within Clean Slate. More on our paid work here.

Getting Online
'Digital by default' is the phrase used by government and service providers across the UK, as they start to phase out paper applications for things like benefits or job applications.
We know that not everyone is ready for this change, so drop in to a Clean Slate centre and we'll get you started on the basics of the internet. We'll help you set up an email address and look at the ways the internet can help us save time and money.
