## Summary

Christians Against Poverty has launched a winter appeal after figures it released suggested millions of UK adults cannot afford basic costs. The charity says it offers free debt advice and practical support through churches, which are increasingly serving as food and financial hubs.

Its figures say 13 million adults, or 24 per cent, lack enough income for essential bills; 6.8 million go without gas or electricity at least weekly, 8.3 million go without food weekly and 12 million struggle to repay debt. The article also describes two clients’ experiences: Susan Cooper, who was £40,000 in debt, and Victoria, who owed more than £14,000; both say support from the charity helped them become debt free.
