How is the ongoing cost of living squeeze affecting the finances, health and wellbeing of people we help with debt?
In 2025, Citizens Advice supported over 400,000 people with debt, nearly a 45% increase compared with five years ago.
Many people now face sustained high living costs alongside debts built up over recent years. These pressures are not easing. Instead, they are overlapping and leaving people with little room to recover.
Join us on Thursday 26 February for our first Data Insights event of 2026, Debt: Under Pressure. We will explore what our latest data and our latest Breathing Space report reveal about debt, financial insecurity and the impact on health and wellbeing.
The event will examine why many people remain trapped in debt and where existing support is falling short.
Thursday 26 February | 2.00–3.00pm | Online
