A small next step
(Just one is enough.)
• Write down the one thing worrying you most.
• Decide the smallest action you could take.
• Do it when you’re ready — not perfectly, just honestly.
You don’t need a full plan.
You just need movement.
If money, housing or bills are part of what’s knocked you flat, our Help & Support hub has free, practical guidance you can take at your own pace.
A final word from Skint Dad
If life has knocked you flat, it doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means something heavy has happened.
You don’t have to bounce back.
You don’t have to rush.
You don’t have to pretend you’re fine.
You just need time, support, and one step at a time.
You’ve rebuilt before, even if you don’t realise it yet.
And you can do it again.
