Edward Pickering of CAB CITIZENS Advice is urging the Government against ‘devastating’ cuts to Universal Credit which it warns could plunge many Craven households into further hardship. It says half of those now seeking its advice on benefits have never needed its support before, and in Craven, the number of people claiming Universal Credit has risen 84 per cent since the coronavirus pandemic started. Now, it fears that families could be pushed into further hardship if the £20 per week Universal Credit ‘uplift’ ends as planned in April. Families will struggle with the loss of £20, which it says to many is the equivalent of three days food, and almost seven days energy costs.

The students, led by the school’s designated Charity Prefect Emily Farquhar, have been collecting donations for the Harrogate District Foodbank.
The foodbank is part of a nationwide network supported by The Trussell Trust, which works to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
Food items ranging from everyday essentials to festive treats were donated by the Rossett School community, and will be delivered to the foodbank in time for Christmas.
Emily said:
Thank you to everyone who donated to our important appeal. The Trussell Trust and its families need our support this year more than ever, with the pandemic putting huge strains on the charity and greatly decreasing the amount of donations they were receiving.
