Research & Campaigns
Our work with clients gives us a wealth of real-time evidence about local problems. We can spot harmful policies and practice, help organisations improve, and support campaigns to influence the government. We take the greatest care to protect client confidentiality.
In 2024-25 our focus is on supporting national Citizens Advice campaign priorities and reflecting the problems most often raised by people in Epsom & Ewell:
- Cost of Living. Inflation is back at target level but the high prices of essentials are ‘baked-in’ and living standards of many households still under pressure.
- Housing. Many of the biggest social problems are caused or made worse by barely affordable, insecure and poor quality housing.
- Health and disability. Up to half of our clients can be living with a long-term health condition or disability. There has been a big rise in mental health problems.
- Digital Exclusion. People who can’t easily use the internet for household tasks face a range of problems.
