Hello , It really is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...as in not going to work, putting the 'out of office' on your emails, getting up late and dipping into the Quality Street early. That's certainly the way it seems! in theory this is a working week but it seems like lots of people have stopped already. Not us! We are still going strong...with our Christmas hats on of course! And this week's newsletter is a bumper Christmas special 😄😄☃ï¸ðŸ™ |

Get paid to participate in market research
|
|
Market research plays an important role in helping companies decide what products to develop. Only a small percentage of people participate in market research, which means products you want may never be developed unless you speak up. And you can get paid whilst doing it!

The government’s latest way to take money from pensioners
|
|
It seemed like a big win for pensioners when the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, announced in November’s Autumn Statement that the ‘triple lock’ would stay and the state pension would go up by 8.5 per cent in April 2024. What a victory for retirees, we all thought! Then the cold light of reality showed up the flaws.

Acts 435 - Food & heating |
Acts 435 is an online giving charity that directly connects those who want to help with those that are in genuine need of their help, through a network of local churches and charities. 100% of what you give to individuals through Acts 435 will go directly to their specific need, with nothing taken away for
administration costs. |
Jackie*, having just become debt free through an Acts 435 partner, needed to travel to visit her ill brother over Christmas. This unexpected cost meant that she didn’t have enough money to eat or heat her home. Acts 435 donors filled the gap, and she said: "Thanks to everyone at Acts 435 who made the New Year so much more enjoyable than
expected. I had to travel unexpectedly to care for my very sick brother over Christmas and this proved so expensive. To come back and find that I now have money for food and heating is a real joy. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.†Jackie* from Hove Can you support an individual who is struggling with food and heating this Christmas? Take a look at all the requests for help in the food and heating category. * names changed |
