Mapping Money Guidance, Advice & Activity across Lancashire

£24 billion worth of financial support goes unclaimed each year, but this doesn’t need to happen. The Lancashire Anti-Poverty Network (LAPN) is collecting information about the services and organisations who offer money guidance, advice and/or activity to households experiencing poverty across Lancashire.

By completeing this survey, you can support the LAPN to target guidance, advice and activities that support people experiencing poverty to access the financial entitlements they are eligible for to life them out of poverty.

Those who complete the survey have the opportunity to be entered into a raffle with a chance to win a £50 Love2Shop e-Gift Card!

What is the purpose of this survey?

“We have heard about the vital services being offered to support families and individuals, as well as some of the challenges organisations have finding money related support if this is not their area of specialism. In the wake of growing levels of poverty in our communities, and more and more people not accessing all the financial entitlements they are eligible for, we are looking to empower the sector to help households to claim financial support, and develop a strategy for income maximisation across Lancashire.

Who should fill in this survey?

The survey should be completed by professionals who either work in organisations who directly offer money related advice/activity (including online services such as benefit calculators), or professionals with touch points with households who may be experiencing poverty such as foodbanks, community centres, health visitors, education professionals, social prescribers etc.

It should take between 5-20 minutes to complete, and can be submitted anonymously.
