Citizens Advice October Cost-of-Living briefing
Posted on: September 28, 2023
Join us for our next cost-of-living data briefing on 10 October, 11am – 12pm. This event will be hosted virtually during the Labour Party Conference. Clare Moriarty, our Chief Executive, and Tom MacInnes, our Data Analyst will be speaking live from Citizens Advice Liverpool. Panellists will be announced soon.
Our September event debated which policy levers we need to use to tackle the cost-of-living crisis. This event will develop this discussion to talk about how we might pull them, and how we conduct effective policy making.
Half of the people coming to us in debt have a negative budget (spending more on essentials than they have coming in) and we’re supporting more and more people who haven’t come to us before, like mortgage holders and those in full time employment. We’re also helping record numbers of people access food banks. Policy changes and Government support have helped bring these numbers down slightly, but they’re still alarmingly high. So what’s the answer and how do we fix it?
