Destitution is when people cannot afford to meet their most basic physical needs to stay warm, dry, clean and fed. Our new report reveals a shameful rise in the number of people experiencing destitution in the UK. Here are the key findings 🧵 #DontIgnoreDestitution

Around 3.8 million people experienced destitution in 2022, a 61% rise since 2019. ⬆️ This included around 1 million children, an 88% rise since 2019. ⬆️ The no. of people experiencing destitution has more than doubled in the last 5 years, while the no. of children has tripled.

Almost two thirds (62%) of people who experienced destitution in 2022 reported a disability or chronic health problem. 🏥💊 This has increased – it was 54% in 2019. #DontIgnoreDestitution

Destitution has ⬆️ across the UK, but particularly in London, Wales and the West Midlands. In Scotland destitution ⬆️ much more slowly. Newham, Manchester and Middlesbrough were the local authorities with the highest rates of destitution.

Extremely low incomes, a threadbare social security system, the increasing cost of essentials and high levels of debt has led to a rapid rise in destitution. 📈 Over 1/2 of destitute households have a weekly income of less than £85 a week. 💷

Nearly 3/4 of destitute households receive income from benefits. 💷 This shows that after a decade of cuts and freezes our social security system is so inadequate it is not protecting people from destitution – and in too many cases pushing them into it. ✂️
