- Research, conducted by YouGov on behalf of the Trussell revealed 55% of people receiving Universal Credit ran out of food month and couldn’t afford more.
- 1 in 5 people on universal credit can’t afford to cook hot food.
That’s why, in addition to emergency food parcels, we also provide emergency fuel vouchers for home gas or electricity for clients who top up their meter at a pay point or a post office. This is to enable clients to cook the food we provide or heat their homes.
The Chancellor’ announcement that for winter 2024/25, winter fuel payments will only be paid to households with someone over state pension age and receiving certain benefits will put further pressure on clients who are facing the tough decision of whether to eat or heat their food and homes.
Can you help support our winter campaign? Providing much needed financial donations so that we can continue to provide food and fuel to those who are making the tough decision of whether to eat or heat their food or pay bills. Every contribution matters, and together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who really need it this winter.
