The latest on #UKPoverty from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

“This winter we have seen two crises collide – the cost of living is forcing families to cut back on essentials and our health service is being overwhelmed by demand. Leaving people to go hungry, skip showers or live in cold homes risks further profound and long term consequences"

"It is heartbreaking and wrong that a million children under 4 are growing up in poverty"

"We are now a nation unable to keep itself warm, concerned for the well being of our nearest and dearest and spending a festive season suffering in cold damp homes"

Happy New Year.
