The UK cost-of-living crisis is affecting people across the UK.
Rising inflation, in particular for critical commodities (such as energy, food and fuel), is pushing households into poverty and financial hardship, including those in employment. It also stretches the community organisations that help these households to breaking point.
Business in the Community (BITC) have launched a new Cost-of-Living Action Plan for Businesses that details 12 calls to action to support you to be faster, braver and bolder in your response to the ongoing crisis.
