An estimated six million people in the UK have fallen behind on one or more household bills as a result of Covid-19, and those trapped in poverty have been hit the hardest. This is an urgent problem that demands a solution. It is not right that those with the fewest resources should bear the heaviest burden of the lockdown, potentially for years to come.
The Baptist Union of Great Britain, Church of Scotland, Methodist Church and United Reformed Church, together with Church Action on Poverty, have launched a new campaign to respond to the household debt crisis.
They’re calling on the Chancellor to create a Jubilee Fund, that would provide grants to pay off and cancel unavoidable debt accrued by households during the lockdown period, giving them a more stable platform from which to face the future.
