Stop the £20 cut to Universal Credit

From early October the UK government is planning to cut £20 a week from Universal Credit and Working Tax Credit payments.

We need your help to build public pressure and ask the government to keep this crucial lifeline.  

If it is taken away, it will be a devastating blow for households who are already struggling to make ends meet, potentially pushing over a million people claiming Universal Credit through the doors of food banks from October.

This is not acceptable.

We’re urging the UK government to choose to protect people when they need support, not cut them adrift.

How you can help us.

Send your Member of Parliament a message letting them know the impact that this cut is going have: Contact Paul Girvan MP

If you, your family or friends are being supported by Universal Credit then it would be especially powerful to share that in the space provided, and what the cut might mean to you/them.

If you have any questions or concerns or want to tell us about how you’ve engaged with your MP, please email [email protected]
