Introduction
Welfare Reform started in 2013 and
is ongoing with lots of welfare reform
changes to come. Future welfare
changes like UC and further Benefit
Cap reductions will affect many of
you. Money Matters want to help you
prepare for this.
Our key drivers are:
„„ Advice on helping you maximise
your money and the income you are
entitled to
„„ Help you develop skills to find or
return to work
„„ Help you benefit from everything
which is available online.

You’ve told us you want us to help you
prepare for future challenges rather
than contact us in a crisis. We’ve listened
so we’ll:
„„ Tailor our service so we can help
residents most in need
„„ Target residents where future welfare
changes happen so we can help you
prepare in advance
„„ Help you sustain your money e.g. help
with budgeting.
You’ve told us we’re a massive help so
we’ll work side by side with you to help
you sustain your tenancy.
