How the cost-of-living crisis has impacted charities
In December The Charities Aid Foundation surveyed over 600 charities as part of their Charity Resilience Index. The index aims to track how charities are experiencing and responding to the cost-of-living crisis in the UK. Key findings from the survey include:
- Half of charities are operating at maximum capacity and many are being forced to make difficult decisions on who they can help, with 15% of respondents saying they have been forced to turn people away.
- With more people in extreme need many charities are seeing an increase in demand for their services however, resources are tightening.
- Charities are unsure whether they can maintain the staffing levels needed to address increasing demand, and the current working conditions are impacting staff morale at certain charities
