Christians Against Poverty (CAP) is highlighting the plight of many less well-off and poorer people in the face of the escalating cost of living crisis.
In an interview with en, CAP Senior External Affairs Manager Rachel Gregory said: ‘There’s been widespread media coverage, so I think everyone is aware of the cost of living crisis. But some may not be aware of how much it is impacting those on the lowest incomes. A fifth of those being helped by CAP have a household income of less than £900 a month. Considering the significant increase in prices for energy, food, and other essentials it’s a very scary time for families living on such low amounts.
‘For some, it’s a case of just trying to tighten our belts a little and find ways to budget more effectively. For others, it’s skipping meals daily, going without heating or light and feeling completely hopeless.
