New research, carried out with Heriot Watt University, estimates 846,000 parcels will need to be provided to people in crisis during October to December 2020 – a 61% increase on last year. And an additional 670,000 people will be destitute by the end of the year, meaning they cannot afford essentials like housing, energy, and food.
