As a former member of staff who worked tirelessly fundraising for @bycLIVE I know the struggles the cost of living crisis, the on-going economical climate and the impact of funding contracts not keeping up with inflation will have had on this incredible charity. It’s so sad.

Charities play a vital part in delivering all types of public services. But as inflation has spiralled, government grants and contracts for delivering these services are not covering the true cost. Help spread the word about the issue by sharing our infographic 👇 #Budget2024
