Looking back, I can’t believe my family made it through Christmas time last year.

Paul and Sam were surviving, not thriving
Millions of families across the UK are worried about making ends meet this Christmas. Many fear they won’t be able to give their children gifts, put enough food on the table, or manage rising energy bills.
This was Paul and Sam’s reality last Christmas.
Paul ran a joinery business with his wife, Sam. With the cost of living making materials double in price, things became critical. Stress caused Paul to have a stroke at aged 44, and their life collapsed around them under the weight of debt.
We couldn’t think about anything other than surviving one day to the next.
