Yesterday we said goodbye to our three outgoing trustees in style, and as we often do at the Welfare Benefits Unit, we said it with cake!

#TrusteesWeek

Since we started working from home, we are used to seeing our Advisers Guide in unusual places and it's a valuable resource for welfare advice in lots of locations. However, we think this might be the first time it's supported cake decorating!

Check back tomorrow to see what the outcome was...

Advice saves lives, but only if we invest in our workforce.
Support AdviceUK's campaign to raise awareness of the need to recruit, train and retain the next generation of advisers through a National Advice Workforce Strategy.

Because without advisers, there is no advice.

#AdviceWeek is here!
We joined AdviceUK at the launch of their Advice Works report yesterday at the House of Commons. The report highlights the life-changing impact of advice services across the UK and calls for a much-needed National Workforce Strategy for the advice sector.
