📚 It's almost back to #school time!
Having to buy a new school #uniform every few years is just not financially possible for many families, so we've awarded grants to fantastic #charities like @edi_little and @F4FSev who are supporting those struggling with this cost. #Charity

In light of the new energy price cap estimates, @ProfJBradshaw and Antonia Keung have updated their modelling and added other thresholds. In January, they estimate that 11.7% of households will be spending MORE THAN 30% of their net income on fuel. cpag.org.uk/news-blogs/news-…
By January 2023 over half of households in the UK (15 million) will be in fuel poverty – spending over 10 per cent of net income on fuel.

New research from @jrf_uk released earlier today shows that:
- Around 2.4 million people experienced destitution in 2019, a 54% increase since 2017
- This included 550,000 children, a 52% increase since 2017
- One in seven (14%) people experiencing destitution are in paid work

Our new research shows that, even before the #COVID19 storm struck, around 550,000 children experienced destitution. That means going without the essentials needed to eat, stay warm and dry, and keep clean. This is unacceptable in our society. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/h…

🚨 Our new research shows deeply concerning figures on destitution in the UK, with around 2.4 million people having experienced destitution in 2019, a 54% increase since 2017. The social security system must be strengthened to turn back this rising tide. jrf.org.uk/report/destitutio…
