What is the Quids in! Professional Network?The Social Publishing Project aims to engage, inform and influence providers, decision-makers and policy makers. Its messages are apolitical. They are drawn from the experience of real people living on low incomes and in poverty. In 2014, we reached 300,000 social tenant households across the UK and published a reader survey providing us with insight into their financial wellbeing (or lack of it). As well as aiming to engage, inform and influence our readership, to help improve their financial resilience, we listen. What we hear is broadcast through our Network newsletters and day-to-day contact with other professionals in the field.
The Network is made of stakeholders in the wellbeing of socially excluded people and those on low incomes. Together, we share analyses on developments (around welfare reform, for example), highlight best practice around the UK, and keep on top of news about the issues affecting people struggling to make ends meet. Key themes will include Universal Credit and digital exclusion, which are closely linked and potentially represent the biggest risk to disadvantaged people in the UK. We are not opposed to progress but will expose injustice. Importantly, we will promote (and create) practical responses that help low income households help themselves and cope with vast social change brought about by the austerity and the dawning of a new digital era. The Quids In Professional Network publishes a free e-newsletter every month. Sign up here |
