November
2008 A new scheme is being set up involving
the Washington Citizens Advice Bureau. It is part of a nationwide
scheme called Horizons which will bring together Barclaycard and
expert partners in the field to ensure help and assistance for
one-parent families.
The scheme intends to help one-parent families
with their problems of financial hardship - and help them build
skills to ensure their own brighter future! this will include debt
advice and financial education to lone parents, and also to re-train
those working in the Jobcentre, to help them in their dealings with
one-parent families.
Horizons is to be a multi-functional organisation,
so there will be scope for referring lone-parents to other Horizons
services where applicable.
