The rising cost of everyday essentials such as food, gas and electricity, rent, council tax and transport is putting a lot of pressure on families. Childcare costs can also make it difficult for parents to return to work or increase their hours. There is also a shortage of affordable housing, and private rents can be extremely difficult to manage on a low or single income. Even households where someone is working can struggle once all the essential bills are paid. More accessible advice and support is needed before people reach crisis point, not just once they are already in debt or struggling to afford food or heating
