One in four missing meals due to cost pressures - report
A new report reveals that one in four people in Wales are cutting down or skipping meals due to financial pressures, with families and disabled individuals among the hardest hit. The Bevan Foundation's Snapshot of Poverty report also highlights the challenges faced by low-income households falling deeper into debt. Calls have been made for government action to address child poverty, including scrapping the two-child limit on benefits, with estimates suggesting this could lift over 600,000 children out of poverty.
