Clean Slate is an organisation that helps people with their finances. Emma, their head of programmes, joins Zak and Jules, to explain how to open a bank account, how Universal Credit works and signpost to lots of useful organisations and resources that can help you manage your money.

Our sister podcast Money Mondays is presented by Zak with Emma from Clean Slate and features loads of episodes with advice and support on all kinds of money issues that you might have when you come out of prison.
