We are seeing record numbers of people coming to us for local welfare advice. In the first 6 months of 2024, we had already supported over 50,000 people with localised social welfare issues – 17,200 more people than we helped over the first 6 months of last year, and twice as many people as in the first half of 2022. If these numbers continue to grow at the same pace, we can expect to help over 90,000 people with local welfare issues in 2024 – breaking last year’s record, and breaking the previous year’s record for the 5th year in a row.
