Many working parents in Northern Ireland have had to cut back on heating their homes due to the cost of living crisis.
With the highest inflation rate in over 40 years, over half of working parents surveyed in Northern Ireland admitted to feeling stressed by money concerns in the lead up to Christmas. Despite their money worries, almost two in five said they will put on a brave face and try to act happy, while many children in Northern Ireland also reported they felt their mum and dad will be faking their festive cheer .
As a charity that delivers children’s services across the UK, Action for Children is increasingly having to provide emergency relief to families as the cost-of-living crisis deepens. Lorna Ballard, national director for Northern Ireland at Action for Children, said: "For most of us the festive season is a happy time, yet as our shocking research shows there will be children all across Northern Ireland who face a very different Christmas this year.
