Charity workers at St Vincent de Paul (SVP) are handling a fifth more calls so far this year.
The soaring cost of living is leading to thousands of more calls to their phone lines, with the charity reporting that they have received 78,000 calls for help so far this year.
It comes as prices continue to rise, but the Government continue to insist that there will be no more relief for people struggling to make ends meet until the Budget in October.
