Citizens Advice Gateshead

Citizens Advice is a national charity that gives people the knowledge and confidence to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem by offering practical advice they can trust.

The Research and Campaigns Team (R&C)
R&C works locally, regionally and nationally to carry out research into the issues affecting our clients, and to highlight our finding to policy makers to ensure the changes they make are informed by the experiences of the people impacted by those changes.

Our Project
Our project will investigate the impact of Universal Credit on recipient’s levels of nutrition, focusing on the impacts of food insecurity and poor supply in some areas of Gateshead.
