⚠️ Scam warning ⚠️

If you receive a text about Winter Fuel Payments, it is a scam.

Winter Fuel Payments are automatic, you do not need to register or sign up.

By forwarding the message to 7726, users allow their mobile provider to investigate the number and potentially block it, all for free.

Being an ally isn’t about having all the answers it’s about showing up, listening, learning, and standing with others.

#Allyship isn’t about being perfect it’s about being consistent and willing to learn. Even small actions, done with care, can make a big difference!

After leaving school, you have several options including further education, apprenticeships, or entering the workforce.

You can explore vocational training, consider a gap year, or pursue self-directed study. It's also a good time to gain work experience through internships or volunteering 🧵

Good on @turn2us.org.uk for putting together a guide for journalists reporting on the benefits system. With the PIP vote coming up, there’s no excuse for the media to use inaccurate or stigmatising language.
