DAY TWENTY ONE - HELPING TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON

 Take action and help keep the lights on for every family this Christmas.

 

Christmas will be different for every family this year. And for some parents, getting food on the table, keeping the electricity on, and the house warm will be harder than ever before.


That’s why we are asking the Government to make sure there is a safety net for every family, by funding and fixing local crisis support in every area.    

 

Even before the pandemic, too many families were finding themselves in unexpected crisis with nowhere to turn. 1 in 7 councils in England no longer has a crisis support scheme, and funding provided by the Government has fallen sharply for those that still exist.


We are asking the Government to provide councils with the resources and guidance they need to support these families through these difficult times. But we need your help.
