Local charity Citizens Advice Bucks has spoken out about its concern for families living in Bucks will feel the full effect of the rising cost of living crisis.
Chief Executive, Thalia Jervis says,
‘We have more and more people coming to us not only for advice but for crisis support. For food bank referrals. For help with energy debt. Families are understandably worried about how to cope and this was before the latest energy hike bills were announced. We expect to get busier still’.
Craig Glynn, Head of Services for the charity says,
"We just want everyone to know that we are here. That our advisers, our charity, will do all we can to help you. Please do not struggle alone. Please reach out to us. Please keep trying when we are busy- or come and volunteer with us to help us reach demand!’
In these challenging times the charity is doing all it can to reach as many people as possible in as many ways as possible and are looking at increasing their online capacity. As part of a project called “Advice Goes Digital” funded by the National Lottery Fund, they are inviting the public to have their say in the future of how it delivers these services.
They are also offering £50 Love to Shop vouchers to lucky draw winners, who will be picked out of a hat on the 28th February 2022.
Head of Communications, Anna shares why this survey is important:
“Being able to reach everyone who needs our help is so critical, especially at the moment, and yet we must strike a balance between continuing to provide a service for those most vulnerable face to face and also trying to help more people by using modern technology. All survey responses will help us to help you and will go towards shaping our future”
