Turn2us responds to the budget 2026

Responding to John Healey's budget announcement on 28 October, Turn2us Head of Policy Shelley Hopkinson said: 

"The measures announced today will provide much needed relief to millions of people facing financial pressure this winter, including vital help with energy bills. 

"It was also good to see the Chancellor recognise that benefits cuts create costs in other public services. This underlines the importance of building a social security system that's there for all of us when we need it - whether we're in work, looking for work, or unable to work. 

"So it's critical that upcoming reforms through the Timms and Milburn Reviews support people without threatening their financial security."
