Situation
Cost of Living remains a significant problem for our clients. During February 2024, we saw the highest combined rate of cost-of-living issues since we started recording them in 2019 (123 clients in one month) three times more clients needing crisis support and foodbank vouchers as 2022 and double the clients with Energy related issues. The cost of living crisis has meant many of our clients are living in negative budget. The phrase ‘heating or eating’ is true for many making tough choices.
Solution
We provide impartial and high-quality advice and support. Through our advice, clients suffering with negative budgets and struggling with the cost of living can receive support, ranging from access to benefits, income maximisation, debt advice, fuel vouchers for those in fuel poverty and foodbank vouchers and support for those digitally excluded. We know that COL issues impact both physical and mental wellbeing, we are here to provide a holistic approach to relieve poverty and improve lives.
