Cost-of-Living Crisis and Mental Health
The whole of Great Britain is currently experiencing a cost-of-living crisis. This happens when the cost of basic expenses such as food and fuel, rise faster than our wages are rising. In 2022, more families than ever are having to decide whether to heat their home or feed their family. Together we can help Feed a Family this Christmas and continue to support the community into 2023 and beyond.
