With the cost of living crisis leading to financial hardship across the UK, millions of people are relying on extra support to pay their bills. The Bank of England has warned the UK is facing the worst recession since the financial crisis with inflation at a 40-year high and people struggling to cope with rising energy bills, mortgage rates and supermarket prices.
Both the UK and Welsh governments have had to intervene to offer extra support to those hardest hit by the crisis. Westminster has announced it will roll out a £324 cost of living payment to those on means-tested benefits next month, the second in a support payment worth £650. UK councils have already sent a £150 cost of living payment to millions of households while people are also being offered hundreds of pounds off their energy bills this winter.
