Education can be tough when you may need to take a pay cut to attend college to achieve this goal; don’t worry however, there is a lot of help available for those on a reduced income, as can be found in the links of this toolkit.

Citizen’s Advice
We aim to provide the advice people need for the problems they face and improve the policies and practices that affect people’s lives.
We provide free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to everyone on their rights and responsibilities. We value diversity, promote equality and challenge discrimination.
Money Advice Service
Web chat available online.
We change lives by helping people make the most of their money. We do the things that, if we don’t do them, nobody else will.
Government has set MAS up, and funded us with a levy on financial services, to offer unique and essential help with money – whether that’s best delivered directly by us, or through others.
We are in a fortunate and unique position, because we never sell anything to anyone. So we offer a comprehensive website with fast, free, independent help on everything from pensions to pet insurance.
We offer a call centre with highly trained staff who can tell people where to get the right help at the right time on any financial topic.

Turn2us
Turn2us is a national charity that helps people in financial hardship to gain access to welfare benefits, charitable grants and support services.
At Turn2us, we know that often it’s an unexpected event that can have the biggest impact on your life and working out where to get help can be very difficult.
In a time of change or crisis, you need to know where you stand. That’s where we come in. We do this through our website, helpline, and also by providing training workshops to our partners so they can provide face-to-face advice using our online tools.
