⚠️ BREAKING ⚠️ Huge changes to the UK Welfare System announced. What we know so far: 1. Personal Independence Payments (Pip): Eligibility for the main disability benefit will be narrowed. 2. "Right to try": People will have the right to try returning to work "without the fear this will put their benefits at risk". 3. Universal credit: The measure used to determine if someone is able to work will be scrapped in 2028 and will instead be assessed through Pip. 4. Merging benefits: The government will consult on merging jobseeker's allowance and employment support allowance. Full statement: https://lnkd.in/e3fmrn9d We will continue speaking to and working with government officials and advocacy charities to figure out how this would work in practice and ensure that people we support are not put in more danger of homelessness.

With guidance, support, and a strong community, their journeys inspire hope for others facing similar challenges.

#IWD shining light on women's homelessness in Newport - breaking barriers and stereotypes. The Wallich Gwent BOOST women were delighted to join Homewards, The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales and women from across Newport ahead of International Women's Day 2025. Why? To start designing a mural which will be painted in Newport City Centre to highlight women's experiences of homelessness. 🎨 Watch this space as the final design will go up in the Kingsway later in the year with women from The Nelson Trust, Pobl Group, St Giles and more. 👀 More about our Gwent BOOST service: https://lnkd.in/eV6wt2ic
