We want to see a world where people can provide for themselves and their family, where society addresses everyone’s needs and where it does not cost more to be poor. It should provide fair opportunity for all so anyone willing and able can access employment.

Our job is to do everything possible to enable people to improve their financial wellbeing. Everyone needs to be able to manage their money well, find work and access every facility to help them do so, including online services.

Clean Slate, in partnership with Quids in!, is re-writing the rulebook on helping low income households to become better off. We are proudly different by:

• Explaining to claimants, tenants and low-income earners what’s really going on, what to be cautious about and what opportunities exist

• Recognising and helping people to see their own abilities to help themselves and each other

• Focusing on the present and the future, not the past, and respecting people's need for something personalised and of practical benefit to them now and into the future

• Valuing people as integral to how we engage others from similar backgrounds and activating people as community activists by making them central within our enterprise

• Being motivated by social justice, tackling poverty and inequality and giving people a voice

• Making sustainability, independence, people’s trust and creating a real difference core to our work

Clean Slate Training & Employment is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company in business to:

• Provide skills and training to people at risk of or affected by poverty and/or unemployment, and the people who work with them, so everyone can provide for themselves and their family and get involved in their communities

• Promote ways for people to ‘future-proof’ their finances, engage with digital life

• Create paid work and other opportunities for benefit claimants, social tenants and low-paid workers as stepping stones towards reaching their potential
