24/3/2020

Clean Slate together with Quids in!, have produced Corona-Finance, a web-based information facility, written specifically for low income households, across the UK. It includes:
  • A web enquiry function to ask the financial questions that thousands, maybe millions, of people in similar circumstances may also have
  • A rolling FAQs page, listing the unique questions as they arise and the latest guidance
  • A one-off e-news digest partners can share with tenants, customers and service users to promote the online facility
  • An expanded money email service with the latest Coronavirus-related financial tips and guidance, led by the team producing the Quids In Readers Club
Coronavirus will have a devastating impact on low-income households’ sense of financial wellbeing. The government is necessarily focused on the health aspects but support services will be picking up the pieces for longer than the health crisis.

​While we believe a financial crisis will emerge for low income households now, we must also be alert to the risk of high unemployment and a possible recession that could compound extreme hardship in our communities. ‘Financial resilience’ must remain a key goal in how we support people into the future.

Clean Slate's Service During Lockdown

Clean Slate has now instituted a remote working protocol. It will enable us to continue to help people on low incomes to become better off without us relying on access to public spaces like libraries and community cafes.

Our teams in Bath & North East Somerset, Gloucestershire and East London, (now operating as local Quids In Centres), will offer phone and web contact. They will continue to work with the people we have seen already. The teams will also be on hand for self-referrals and referrals from support agencies working with people facing hardship and needing guidance. People local to a Quids In Centre will be able to:
  • Make and maintain contact with us by phone, email and weblink
  • Access the latest financial guidance as the fall-out from Coronavirus becomes apparent and the government’s response develops
  • Work through existing financial worries and receive signposting to specialist advice, where necessary
  • Undertake a money health-check to identify steps that could reduce their outgoings and maximise their income (eg, accessing government support) to help mitigate financial uncertainty or setbacks
  • Find support and reassurance in relation to their money concerns

Get Involved

We are calling on our stakeholders in the financial wellbeing of our poorest communities to:
  • Share this information with colleagues and customers, tenants and service users
  • Signpost our web, email and telephone-based services to offer guidance and promote financial resilience
  • Visit our Corona-Finance webpage: Enquiry function and FAQs page here

For further information about the one-off e-news digest email to promote the online service or our ‘Corona-Finance’ money email service, please register your interest below.
