Citizens Advice Data Insights: Is the cost of living crisis really over?

Subject: Is the Cost-of-Living Crisis really over?

As government measures to ease the crisis take effect and inflation falls, is the crisis easing for people we help?

Thank you for registering to join us on May 15th,  11am - 12pm as we show for the first time the impact of the package of measures from the Government to tackle the cost-of-living crisis; including the data-driven reality behind claims the crisis is easing.

In the latest Spring and Autumn statements the Government announced increases to Benefits, Local Housing Allowance, and the Minimum wage, among others, effective from April. We welcomed this much-needed action, which will certainly be a relief for some. But the crisis is deep and we’ll be able to show in our data if government measures are enough to lift people out of a negative budget, where their income isn’t covering their essential costs.

We’re delighted to announce that we’ll be joined by guest speaker Kate Bell, Assistant General Secretary, TUC who will share the impact of the crisis on the TUC membership and what policy levers could be pulled to support workers facing hardship.

In the run up to the event, feel free to take a closer look at all our data on our website or on our data dashboard
