Achieving financial inclusion in the UK
CHASM is driving forward research and a range of initiatives to support the development of a government-led financial inclusion strategy.

The research also argues that it is not only necessary to address social inequalities but to unleash ‘inclusive’ economic growth by releasing the potential of all UK citizens.
