'Living on Universal Credit is a constant battle'

Living on Universal Credit is a constant struggle for many, like Keith Williams of Nottingham, who finds the £368 monthly benefit insufficient and often runs out of money for necessities like food within a week. A study by the University of Nottingham revealed that 70% of UC recipients were skipping meals and facing nutrition deficiencies, emphasizing the financial challenges they face. Charities like SFiCE and The Open Kitchen are stepping up to provide meals and support to those affected by food insecurity while calling for more substantial government assistance to address the issue.
