A Butetown group has opened up about the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on isolated families and members of the community. Organisation Steps4Change says some parents are struggling to afford things like activities for their children, with a building waiting list for people to join the organisation which helps teach skills like cooking on a budget.
It comes as an appeal to help voluntary organisations and charities during the cost-of-living crisis is to receive a £1 million donation from the Welsh Government. ‘Our Communities Together – a cost of living crisis appeal’ is a project set up by Community Foundation Wales together with Newsquest to help voluntary groups and organisations tackle the rising costs and demand levels.
Cardiff's Steps4Change is one of the organisations that will benefit from this donation. The voluntary community group provides support for isolated individuals, families and communities as well as helping with the development of young people.
