More and more people are ‘massively struggling’ to pay their bills in Wigan as the cost of living crisis continues to wreak havoc on finances.
Wigan council's welfare team says it has seen a massive surge in people coming to them for support. The figure has risen from 70 people a week pre-Covid up to 800 every week at the moment.
The Government has provided Wigan Council with £5,636,469 through the Household Support Fund (HSF) to help those struggling to pay energy, food and water bills.
