The stark reality of the cost of living crisis faced by thousands of families in Greater Manchester has been brought to life by an interactive map of real-life stories.
Created by campaign group 38 Degrees, the map highlights the real-life concerns of those struggling in the region as prices soar and winter closes in. Each pin point tells the story of a real resident, and hopes to demonstrate how people are struggling to cope with rising prices and other pressures.
The map has been released in the run-up to Thursday’s autumn statement, which is expected to include a number of cuts to public services.
