How fraud affects Newham

Fraud dishonestly takes money from the public purse that should be spent on all of us.

It should be used for improving our services and increasing the range of benefits available to genuine claimants.

The cost of fraud annually could pay for an extra 41 teachers or 68 street cleaners or 2,500 basic laptop computers for schools.

This is your money!

Resources taken by fraudsters are provided through the taxes we pay. We must all work together to crack down on fraudsters stealing from Newham.
