ABC’s main aim is to provide people receiving state pension and benefits with the resources needed to secure meaningful employment. We also strive to ensure that people receiving welfare are well-informed and know what they are entitled to under the welfare system. Please use the UC Calculator at the bottom of the page.

We are the independent association for those on low incomes, state pensions, welfare benefits and working in the gig economy. HERE you can find the advice, ideas and inspiration you need to improve your circumstances.
