Last weekend The Observer published an article about our Need Not Greed campaign. One of their reporters, Jon Robins, came to the Community Links building in Canning town to meet local people and discuss their attitudes towards work, money and debt.
The article reports on people who are struggling to bring up families and are forced to workfor cash-in-hand in the informal economy out of “Need not Greed“. We are campaigning to end a reliance on cash-in-hand work and help people to make the transition into formal work, gradually come off benefits and at the same time not be thrown further into poverty. Whist the issue is relevant throught the year, the extra pressure for expenditure on children at christmastime brings it into sharper focus.
You can read the full article on the Observer website and join in the debate by leaving a comment. You can read more on the campaign at www.needdnotgreed.org.uk or email Maeve McGoldrick.
