61. April Update

April is a BIG month in the financial calendar. It welcomes the start of the new tax year, allowances renew, the price of bills change and it’s no different in prison. Zak & Emma are here with an update on what’s changing and how it might affect you. It’s recently been announced that the amount you can draw down from private to your spends account is increasing by 10% which looks like good news when added to the recent increase in wages, but is it enough to counter inflation on the canteen? USEFUL LINKS:Clean SlateQuids In MagazineInside Time - Pay RatesInside Time - Private CashInside Time - Pay RiseIf you would like to get in touch with Money Mondays and ask us a question, suggest a topic or start a conversation, you can E-mail us at...📧: [email protected]💬 DM us: @afterprisonpod on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok✉️ Write to us: Life After Prison, National Prison Radio, HMP Brixton, London SW2 5XFThis episode is hosted by...Zak - The award-winning co-presenter of NPRs 'Life After Prison' PodcastEmma - Works for 'Clean Slate' & their money skills resource 'Quids In' - Who provide information and support to people on lower incomesYou can find out more about the work of the 'Prison Radio Association' and 'National Prison Radio' here:https://prison.radio/ Hosted on Acast.
