Three Hands Insight
Back in March the FCA updated their approach to ‘vulnerable customers’, highlighting the need to better incorporate real feedback into product design, take proactive steps to identify needs, and properly define what a 'good outcome' looks like. Their review showed that firms are still failing to deliver consistently good outcomes for these customers, who include… The 20.3 million people living in financially vulnerable circumstances in the UK, up by 16% from 2022. https://lnkd.in/e5Zf2Fyu The estimated 6 million households living in fuel poverty. https://lnkd.in/guMQYxux The 1 in 6 adults who has experienced a ‘common mental disorder’ like depression or anxiety in the past week. https://lnkd.in/eFbWDdAy The 20% of people in the UK that are over 65, and the 1 in 13 of that group who has dementia. https://lnkd.in/dsWR_ucT https://lnkd.in/eWKw4vi7 The 15% of the population thought to be neurodivergent. https://lnkd.in/endyiWGy The 32% of UK adults that have low or very low digital capability. https://lnkd.in/eJW_Z2P4 These statistics emphasise our saying – ‘vulnerable customers’ is far from a niche group. Given how many of us are increasingly likely to find ourselves in a state of vulnerability at some point in our lives, it is crucial that businesses, not only continue to think about inclusive design, but proactively seek feedback and ideas from people with lived experience.

£100m of funding is available to companies from Seed to Series A, as part of Innovate UK's Growth Catalyst program. That's up to £900k per company. They've built a suitability checker to see if your business is right for their funding, which I'll share in the comments. There are over 200 investor partners, meaning if they commit to invest, you may be eligible for funding. Grants aren't right for everyone, but can be a great funding source to explore.
