⚠️ The effects of the cost-of-living crisis are very real. Our Clare Moriarty explains how people are facing more complex problems and living in impossible situations. Urgent action is needed, especially for those on lowest incomes.

Incredibly poignant cartoon by ⁦Morten Morland⁩ in today’s Times. If you know someone who lives alone, perhaps bereaved, for whom today may hit especially hard, perhaps give them a ring later on 🖤

Heartbroken for the victims and families impacted by today’s tragic attack. This will leave an indelible mark on the community of Southport. Emergencies Partnership will do all we can to connect the immediate and longer term support to the young people and communities impacted. Sefton CVS

Today’s events remind me of the importance of learning from previous tragedies and the long term impact they have if young people aren’t supported to recover… thanks to National Emergencies Trust and their network for this vital research we must all learn from….

If you are looking to support those affected by the knife attack in #Southport on 29th July, the most effective way you can help is to give money to support the local relief effort: buff.ly/3SwuD17 [🧵]
