Cost-of-living crisis set to have devastating impact in Wales

POVERTY campaigners in Wales revealed today that the cost-of-living crisis is set to have a devastating impact this winter in Wales.

The Bevan Foundation released its latest Snapshot of Poverty series in Wales and said that no progress has been made in reducing the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on Welsh families. 

A quarter of people in Wales are eating smaller meals or skipping meals, while others have been pushed into debt with 29 per cent of people borrowing money and 13 per cent being in arrears on a bill.
