Well that was a busy weekend. All our backlog now cleared by our amazing team of volunteers who have been out delivering to addresses across Stevenage and North Hertfordshire. We are now ready for what the week brings, referrals are open via the Stevenage Citizens Advice website

Just a small ray of joy and happiness in these uncertain times

We will be off Twitter for awhile as we try to deal with the tsunami of the requests for help. We have unfortunately taken the decision to temporarily halt new referrals for the next three days to clear the backlog

BBC reporting 500000+ new claims for Universal Credit in the past week. Surely in these uncertain times it is now time to put aside the 5 week delay. We also need the government to set aside all UC advance loan repayments during this crisis so families can put food on the table.
