According to a recent report, the advice sector faces a £15-£20 million shortfall when trying to meet the immediate new demand which has been significantly exacerbated by the cost of living crisis. The problem is urgent. If the funding gap is not closed, unmet demand will continue to increase while tens of thousands of people remain unable to access the services they need.
