Congratulations to our August Values Sharer, data compliance analyst, Eugene Larkin. Eugene was nominated for bringing to life the value of ‘We care’, going above and beyond in training our Data Compliance Office (DCO) apprentice, Lucy Henry. He has ‘successfully adapted his teaching style and tailored it to Lucy’s needs’, making her feel comfortable and able to ask questions. Eugene has provided a ‘safe environment’ and his care and attention will benefit the entire DCO team as Lucy begins to work more independently. #ValuesSharer #Culture

As part of our South Asian Heritage Month celebrations, we produced a cookbook featuring some of our colleagues' favourite dishes – including onion bhaji, Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani, Sri Lankan fish cutlets, chilli mongo and Gujarati dal. Colleagues then came together in both our London and Cardiff offices to taste these delicious recipes, share personal stories and listen to a variety of South Asian music. We were also delighted to have David Ramcharran host a virtual yoga class for our colleagues, shining a light on the South Asian practice of yoga – involving breathwork, light meditation and adaptation of bodily postures and poses.

Which? believes clear unit pricing is key to helping shoppers through the current cost of living crisis and is calling on supermarkets to urgently do more by making unit pricing more prominent, legible and consistent – as well as by displaying it on their promotional offers. Our latest investigation found unit pricing in supermarkets – which enables you to compare value by the cost per unit (for example per 100g or 100ml) – is often unclear, inconsistent or absent. #CostofLiving #budgeting
Today, Ofgem announced that the energy price cap will rise an average of 80%, taking typical household bills from £1,971 per year to £3,549 per year on 1 October. We are calling on the government and Ofgem to undertake an immediate review of retail energy pricing. Rocio Concha, our Director of Policy and Advocacy, says, ‘These eye-watering increases will simply be unaffordable for households up and down the country. The government must now increase the Energy Bills Support Scheme by at least 150 per cent or risk pushing millions of households into financial distress this winter.’ #EnergyBills #EnergyCrisis #EnergyPriceCap https://lnkd.in/gVfgbkzz
