The energy crisis and its impact on the situation of people living in poverty
The rising cost of living is the most pressing concern for 93% of Europeans, according to the latest European Parliament survey, which has a serious impact on the situation of people on low incomes, especially single parents, the elderly and young people. They are unable to cover basic needs such as heating their homes, buying food or paying their rent. Over the last year there was a 40 percent increase across Europe in the number of people seeking support from social service providers in the charity's network.
