Advice NI is very concerned about the impact of welfare cuts on
vulnerable, low income households. In the current period of recession,
even more people have become reliant on the social security system and
we are keen to assess the everyday experiences and challenges faced by
people reliant upon a social security system which has been subjected to
very significant cuts.
In order to try and give low income households a voice, Advice NI has
developed an online survey aimed at people reliant upon the social
security system; including needing help with their mortgage or rent;
help with childcare costs; help because they are sick or disabled; or
generally finding it difficult to pay bills and make ends meet.
We would ask anyone who provides a service to / or knows of anyone
affected by the cuts, to encourage them to log on and complete this
survey.
All of the information we collect will be kept in the strictest
confidence and used for research purposes only. A report will be
produced with the aim of raising awareness of the impact of the welfare
cuts on people in Northern Ireland.

research, please contact Kevin@adviceni.net
