Oxfam is calling for an increase in the minimum wage to protect low income workers from dropping below the poverty line.
The charity says that the rising cost of living, combined with falling wages, and cuts to benefits, is creating the "perfect storm" for low paid workers.
A report published by the charity today shows six out of ten working-age adults living in poverty come from working households.

There is poverty in the UK but there is
still a lot of money out there and businesses that deal in high end

Starting up a new business is a
combination of having hope, believing in yourself and your abilities,
understanding your product or service, realizing there is a business
opportunity but above all FEAR is there niggling in the back of your
mind.

giant step towards creating a new business is probably the most
important feeling you can use to your advantage - to take your ideas
forward. Being afraid means you are asking all the right questions in
your head.
