Social and Financial Inclusion
Strong, vibrant and supportive communities benefit everyone, increasing our health and wellbeing and financial resilience.
Social Inclusion
TCT works with many partners to build up individuals and communities. We are currently working in a number of areas of social inclusion:
Modern Slavery
It takes a whole community to recognise and respond to Modern Slavery and say #weseeyou to those affected by this awful crime.
Financial Inclusion
Our Just Finance work is helping to create a movement for financial inclusion in the Black Country and increasingly beyond.
Times are hard for people and many in our communities are experiencing financial distress, particularly those on low incomes. We are empowering people around financial inclusion, partnering with the Just Finance Foundation nationally.
We organise sessions to teach people about budgeting and money management, and to help build their financial confidence.
During the current Covid-19 pandemic, we have concentrated on delivering the Covid Cash Recovery course.
We are also concentrating on promoting our Preventing Shocking Debt work and Jesus Money resource, which starts conversations about money. We also continue to:
- organise events (such as Faith and Finance
- do policy influencing work (such as #ResetTheDebt)
- campaigns with local partners (such as our Payroll Savings Campaign).
Wolverhampton Poverty Truth
Wolverhampton Poverty Truth gave people with lived experience of poverty a chance to work with Civic and businesses leaders to create lasting change.
