14.5 million people are currently living in poverty in the UK. The number of people using foodbanks has risen to 2.56 million. Homelessness is predicted to increase by nearly a third in the next two years.
Meanwhile, the cost of everyday goods is now 10% higher than this time last year, from food to petrol and energy bills. More and more people are turning to charitable support to help them through these tough times.
The National Emergencies Trust is partnering with Crowdfunder to help promote the work of our charitable partners responding to the cost of living crisis, as well as many other incredible charities and groups right across the UK.
As a business that cares about its community, we’ve made it easy for you to support organisations on the front line of the cost of living crisis.
