How the rising cost of living is affecting NI's most vulnerable

Vulnerable people in Belfast are being forced to make a choice between food, heating or electricity as the cost of living crisis worsens.

Rachel Kelly, a support worker for Belfast Central Mission who help and support hundreds of people across Northern Ireland every week, has spoken to Belfast Live about the problems facing her service users and how they have struggled through the pandemic only to find themselves with even more problems.

Rachel provides support to around 22 vulnerable people over the age of 55 in the Belfast area who are finding it harder and harder to get by every week as the rising cost of living means that their money just does not stretch far enough.
