Healthwatch Wandsworth undertook research into the cost of living. This report covers their findings so far from a survey, general engagement and an online workshop. Altogether they spoke to 77 people.
An overwhelming number of respondents talked about the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on their mental health. This is in part due to the changes in people’s lifestyles and quality of life, and the stress of managing during the cost of-living crisis. Additionally, people who were already vulnerable, for example, those on benefits and people with existing conditions have been highly impacted by rising costs and caps on benefits.
