We know that the cost of living is putting people in Renfrewshire in crisis. Households are struggling to pay for food and heat homes. Borrowing has increased by one-third by low income households. Often those who need to borrow money end up paying more than they have to for credit but may not have the resilience to maintain outgoing debits. Debt is a real problem and poorer health outcomes are associated with poor financial circumstances.

Whether you are a practitioner, community group, voluntary or public sector, please join us for a free information and networking session on the impact of the cost of living crisis.

Join us online or in-person for a morning coffee or tea at the Finding Your Feet Charity Hub to hear from spotlight speakers and discussion. You'll meet other local contacts, hear about new ideas and services, and you’ll have an opportunity to discuss your response to the crisis.

If you can't join us in person we will contact you with an MS Teams link for the full session.
