More than 13,000 readers donate to two grassroots charities tackling cost of living crisis
More than £1.5m has been raised for the Guardian and Observer’s appeal in aid of grassroots charities working on the frontline of the cost of living crisis in some of the UK’s most deprived communities.
Donations to the appeal, which closed at midnight on Sunday evening, will be shared between our two charity partners, Citizens Advice and Locality, enabling them to invest in local services from emergency food banks and warm rooms to debt and housing advice, and mental health help.
