As part of refugee week Advice NI ran an advice session covering everything you need to know about UK government schemes available to Ukrainian nationals. Both for Ukrainian nationals aiming to arrive to NI and for those already living in NI.
We are now facing a similar recession to 2008, however this time personal credit is out of control in UK & NI, the Banks and lending sector seem to have learned nothing from their previous mistakes.
Advice NI has dealt with 270,000 enquiries mostly related to social security issues. Food banks have grown from 2 operating in 2011 to at least 14 this year.
