In a typical year, the staff and volunteers at the Cardinal Hume Centre in Victoria help more than 1,000 disadvantaged Londoners in everything from getting jobs, food or being housed in its hostel, but plans to do more are being hit hard by the cost of living crisis.
The centre, which first opened its doors in 1986, tackles homelessness and poverty in families and employs experts in the benefits system, teachers, nursery workers and immigration advisers.
