Understanding the cost of living crisis in Oxfordshire

Citizens Advice West Oxfordshire were proud to join the recent webinar run by Oxfordshire Community Foundation.

The cost of living crisis is hitting us all; but what is the effect on people’s lives in Oxfordshire? In a poll ‘40% of people in Oxfordshire say it’s very or somewhat difficult to afford energy bills.’

At this webinar, the speakers explore the impact on those local communities that were already disadvantaged and struggling, and understand the priorities of local charitable organisations as they face this next challenge.

The session was hosted by Imam Monawar Hussain DL, an OCF trustee who has recently completed a year as High Sheriff of Oxfordshire.

Speakers:

• Dr Mark Fransham, Senior Researcher at the Department for Social Policy and Intervention at the University of Oxford
• Teresa Archer, Chief Officer at Citizens Advice West Oxfordshire
• Fiona Steel, Director at Good Food Oxfordshire

Listen to the fascinating debate with insights from people who work with an increasing number of low income households across the county.
