Cash-strapped families are struggling to send their children to extracurricular clubs with the poorest in the country “facing the brunt” of the cost-of-living crisis.
One in 12 parents who sent their children to activities this time last year can no longer afford to, according to a survey of more than 1,200 parents by YouGov and the Scouts Association.
Deputy UK Chief Commissioner at the Scouts Association Caroline Ledger said families were going through a cost of living crisis like they had “never seen before”.
