This month we take a look at the cost of living crisis

 
On Thursday the Scottish Government announced a package of support, including a payment to some households across Scotland to tackle the rising cost of energy. 

 
Key findings include 74 per cent of organisations are struggling with staff capacity to deliver services.

 
“The UK’s energy system is fundamentally broken and this is clear evidence that it doesn't work for people or the planet."

 
“Extending the immigration health surcharge exemption to international volunteers would be an important step in the right direction”.

 
Scots struggling with their rising energy bills have been urged to seek out the help of experts as the cost of living crisis continues.
