What is Quids in! Pro?Quids in! Pro (QIPRO) stakeholders share our vision of a world where:
![]() Through the newsletters emailed 10 times a year, briefings posted on this website and presentations we make to networks and forums around the UK, the Network helps advisers and policy-makers to respond even better to the needs of low income households everywhere. Our agenda is informed by biennial financial wellbeing surveys (get involved here) among people from low income households, so is led by them.
Key themes for QIPRO include Universal Credit, poverty, and financial and digital exclusion, which are closely linked and represent the biggest risk to disadvantaged people. We promote (and create) practical responses that help low income households help themselves and cope with sweeping changes under welfare reform, austerity and the dawning of a new digital era. The newsletter draws on stakeholders' experiences to 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. Like Quids in! quarterly magazine, our monthly money emails and the range of guides written for consumers in the less well-off parts of our community, QIPRO is apolitical, positive about change and free to subscribers. It is funded from revenue generated by our social enterprise activity. ![]() We are developing a bank of insights, including downloads available exclusively to QIPRO members. One exciting development builds on our work around Universal Credit (UC), which includes the Guide for claimants and a newly launched money management training offer. In the coming months, we will be launching an intelligence-sharing resource for non-welfare advisers working with UC claimants. This will highlight newly emerging gaps in provision for claimants as they migrate to UC. This started with the publication of a free 'Critical Insights' download, available only to QIPRO members (sign up here).
