In our latest episode, Tania Reason, Benefits Advisor at Curo, talks about the benefits that customers may be missing out on.

It’s easy to get lost in the complex benefits maze, but the Money Advice service has the latest information on what support is available. Tania explains how she’s there to support customers every step of the way in their applications.

“If you’re entitled to benefits, why struggle when we can help you to apply?” she says.

Tania also dispels some popular myths about claiming benefits and reveals the most common benefits customers may be missing out on.

The threshold for applying for benefits is increasing this year so if you haven’t been eligible for certain benefits in the past, you may now qualify, she adds.

Our Cost of Living podcast offers advice to customers on everything from benefits to help finding work.

In each episode, Marianne Rawlins, Communications and Media Manager at Curo, talks to people who can help.

At Curo, we’re really concerned about the effects the rising cost of living is having on our customers. We want you to know that support is available and we’re here to help. That’s why we’ve created our Cost of Living podcast.

In each episode, Marianne Rawlins, Communications and Media Manager at Curo, talks to people who can help with everything from money advice to saving energy. In episode two we speak to Ciara Aylett, Employability Service Manager, who tells us about Curo’s Work Wise service and how is can support people to maximise their incomes.

Work Wise offers support for people to gain employability skills, build confidence and get placements to take the next step in their careers. It’s not only for Curo customers, Work Wise is available to all residents of our communities. Opportunities include apprenticeships and access to construction careers. One example is our Power Up programme, which is introducing people to new ‘green’ jobs, as well as roles in construction and trades, many of which aren’t manual roles and which may surprise you.

Contact the Work Wise team on workwise@curo-group.co.uk or call 01225 366000 to find out more.

If you’re having money worries, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Contact Curo’s Money Advice service on customeraccountshelp@curo-group.co.uk or 01225 366000.

You can find our podcast on Spotify, Amazon Music and Audible.
