CPAG welfare rights brings together all our essential resources on our online platform, cpag.org.uk/welfare-rights, including our handbooks, caselaw summaries, adviser tools, template letters and appeal submissions. Many of these resources are free to use. Subscribers can also access the digital versions of our handbooks such as our Welfare Benefits Handbook and Benefits for Migrants Handbook which are regularly updated online, as well as all our tools. We are not-for-profit. Your subscription not only gives you access to resources produced by sector leaders in welfare rights, but also helps support the work of our charity, including our free advice lines, our test cases which push the boundaries of welfare rights to improve the lives of claimants, and our campaigns to end child poverty. Come along to our stall to say hello, find out more, and have a go at our lucky dip with big prizes to be won.
CPAG’s judicial review project helps advisers use the Judicial Review Pre Action Protocol to resolve their clients’ intractable welfare benefits issues. We provide free template letters before claim for advisers to use, support by email, and training on judicial review. Find out more at cpag.org.uk/JRProject.
CPAG fundraising depends on the generosity of supporters to continue and expand our work to end child poverty. You can help in many ways: by donating regularly, fundraising with family and friends, introducing new supporters, or leaving a gift in your will. However you choose to get involved, you’ll be helping to create lasting change for children and families. Visit our fundraising stall or contact [email protected] to find our more.
