About Us

Matthew Henson is an independent digital news platform committed to delivering factual, relevant, and timely updates on public policy, financial assistance, and community news. We cover developments across both the United Kingdom and the United States, with a clear focus on government-led changes that directly affect citizens’ lives.

Our Mission

Our mission is to simplify complex policies and make essential information accessible to everyone. We focus on topics like Universal Credit reforms, DWP changes, PIP updates, Social Security news, stimulus programs, and local community efforts. With so much misinformation online, we aim to be a reliable source people can trust.

What We Do

We provide easy-to-understand news articles, explainers, updates, and guides related to government policy, social aid, future legislative plans, and public services. Our coverage includes national legislation, state or council-level initiatives, and community-based programs that affect housing, income, employment, and healthcare.

Our Values

Matthew Henson operates with transparency, impartiality, and accuracy. We are not affiliated with any political party, government body, or lobbying group. Our editorial independence allows us to report objectively and responsibly, placing public interest above all.

Looking Ahead

As we grow, we plan to offer more tools like live briefings, regional newsletters, and expert interviews. Our commitment is to serve as a bridge between government decisions and everyday understanding, helping readers stay informed and confident in their choices.
