Cost of living at winter: inside the UK’s warm banks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 гру 2022
- Between the cold weather, a cost of living crisis and soaring energy bills - this winter is forcing families to make tough choices and sacrifices. But some communities have created safe spaces for vulnerable people this winter - these are Britain’s warm banks.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
The UK economy is in recession and bills for every household across the country are soaring. Leaving many unable to afford to heat their homes properly. It’s estimated more than 8 million people will be in fuel poverty by April 2023, and many are choosing between buying presents for their families or heating their homes this Christmas.
We visited three Warm Banks in Barnsley and Gateshead to speak to the volunteers and those using the community spaces for warmth, a warm meal, singing songs or just for some company and a shoulder to cry on.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", we most be successful in life I say this with strong faith 🙏🙏🙏

Amen! 🙏 But I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong
This is absolutely insane and heartbreaking. As an American I had no idea this was going on there. Our media does not report on this sadness. If it wasn't for UA-cam I wouldn't have known
A return to the Victorian era: the rich the poor and a shrinking middle class. 😢 very tragic.
Exactly what the Tories meant by Victorian values.
I agree. In a country with extreme wealth, why do Brits put up with taking the scraps dropped from the rich man's table?
@@happychappy7115 that stuff is just around the corner.
This breaks my heart. Such basics need to be warm, food, and comfort and the people in this video have to fight so hard for it. Bless the people who need and run the warm banks.
These volunteers are the Heroes of the UK❤
12+ years of Conservative rule. What a lucky country we are.
Yes, but really it's 40 years of neoliberal capitalism. And the Labour Party under Starmer, like Blair, won't really change much. Unless we fight for real change.
That's why supporting striking workers is so vital. We have to show who's side we are on.

Nobody does Dickens' Christmas like the UK!
12 years of austerity, falling investment in public services, 3 shocks happened after each other, a pandemic, energy crisis and an act of economic self sabotage, no wonder the system is buckling
Hats off to those ladies creating a safe space for families
Everyone wants 10% but prices have gone up 35% this year in the supermarkets .and gas and electric have at least doubled
And energy companies are making record profits.
Insult to injury is with all that's going on, heating ur home shouldn't be one of them! Looking at videos with meters to control how much or when is ludercrus, there's different levels of need, like once compared to kids in the home, or a disability that relies on energy! What kind of people think they can live like this?!
Can someone please tell me why we spend billions on foreign aid when charity & food & heating starts at HOME!!

Remember when the Royals -Queen- tried to use state poverty fund to heat Buckingham Palace -- Ministers were asked if money earmarked for schools, hospitals and low-income families could be used to meet soaring fuel bills

And yet folk still tug their forelock at that family and the now dead Lizzie.

Aaawww, so good to see the little doggos are welcomed too.

It's shocking what the government are doing to British people
Its a complete disgrace what the Government is doing.
People voted for this ..
march in the streets for change .?
Put 10 million people in London .. see change then
The British people brought it on themselves. they almost all applauded lockdowns and sanctions on Russia. they got exactly what they deserve for being so dumb
I have been living in Britain for 62 years and take it from me that Britain is no longer the British country it used to be thanks to open borders and multiculturalism. Our so called British politicians because some of them are not actually of British origin anyway care more about foreigners and immigrants and looking after foreign countries than they do about looking after Britain's native British people. People will accuse me of racism for what I have said but I am just telling the truth of what's happened to Britain and I should know because I have been living in Britain for 62 years.
The ukrainian clown is more important so all the money goes to him 💩💩🤡🤡
End the Ukraine proxy war and spend the money at home.
Here is the consequence of voting for the Torys
Among the richest nations on the planet , yet the increase in charity is through the roof , Nobody questions where the wealth is going though it’s obviously not to the people , we deserve everything that’s coming because we create the corruption and greed by just ignoring it happens
Sad but true. People STOP voting Tory.
Because we are paying for millions of illegal immigrants

It really is sickening and heartbreaking.
It'll only get worse under this vile Tory government
Don't forget there a hygiene banks now
Oh yeah? Labour will be no different, either. Starmer's not exactly from a working class background and neither is his cabinet.
Curious 🤷♂️, so you think it’s just this vile Tory government, looking past the end of your nose , do you think the system of government works , the embedded greed and corruption in politics due to politicians, the theatre style shows to make it look like they care wether in government or opposition, everything else looks fine to you , just the vile tories 🤷♂️
@@alistairbeveridge2753 oh no politicians are in it for themselves. But after 12 years. Austerity twice. Leaving the EU. Food banks. Warm banks. Tax cuts for the rich, the list goes on and on under Tory rule.

Thats the trouble. Same farts voting for same old useless fart parties. Unless they step out of their comfort zone, nothing will change. Cons, Lab, Lib, are all well tried and totally useless.
In the UK a single person over 25 out of work is entitled to £340 per month universal credit. A third of that can be taken automatically for outstanding debt. leaving the person with just £240 a month to live on. I had to give up work last year to care for my son full time. I was living on £240 a month. We ate mainly from food banks, which is mostly tinned food. Thankfully this year we are in a better position. But I can`t imagine what people are going through this year on such a small amount, when food and fuel has gone up so much. :(
@@MyNameIsMissMe I would second this, especially getting your son PIP, it's not means tested. Be prepared for a fight for it and that it will take time, we started the claim for Husband in May 2017 and it was not awarded until September 2018 plus we had to go to tribunal for it. If you have a charity or Citizen's Advice Bureau in your area they can support you with your claim if you need to take it to tribunal. But if you are successful they backdate your claim from the date you phoned them and made the application. If you can face the fight it is well worth it as many claims rejected by the DWP are overturned on appeal. Good luck to you, it's souldestroying out there >
not so simple. UC can at any time arbitrarily decide you aren't 'doing enough' to look for work, without saying really what is 'enough’, and leave you to starve/freeze to death (provided you're a UK citizen, ie not migrant) basically gaslight those in poverty to absolve any responsibility before murdering its own citizens. Many freeze to death usually white middle aged men with learning difficulties, (the lowest outcast in the uk)but some women too now.
You are even fortunate it's increased because of the pandemic back as in 2018 if you were under 25 it was £250 for universal credit for young people. I was on £250 and it was an absolute nightmare, luckily i was with my mum and dad but otherwise not sure how people could live on that. Thank God things are SOOOOO good for me now. Glad things are better for you.
Get yerself diagnosed as "anxious" and your money shoots up. U need 2 wise up.
@@MyNameIsMissMe In theory, yes. My son applied for P.I.P but was turned down. Because he didn`t get P.I.P I was not allowed to apply for carers allowance. The two are mutually exclusive.
Warm banks... pfff🤨 this shouldn't happened in one of the richest countries in the world!
It's so cold where I am in Colorado, I'd freeze to death trying to get to a warm bank.
Britain has over two trillion pounds of national dept that our governments can never pay back and our governments are continually borrowing and printing money to stop our economy and country from collapsing. Britain is a country that is rich on borrowed and printed money and we are rich on dept and we are not the rich country that people think we are.
Is it ok in a poor country then? Why is it not ok? When has it ever been a land of plenty? Do you not work for what you get/have, and don’t get what you don’t deserve. People are pathetic now. They can’t cope with the slightest adversity that isn’t even adversity. None of these people are skinny. Why heat entire homes? There’s such a thing as a silent majority. Sure, if awful things were done against these people, like a positive act of raiding their homes, dragging them out and torturing them, most people would be in disgust and take action. The most effective thing that can happen is if these people take action themselves. Instead of whining and complaining, thinking that they’re owed something and that someone else should and will come and save them. The biggest influences in people’s lives are their own personalities, and it is this that drives the differences between them. Alan Sugar is rich for a reason. Joe Bloggs is poor for a reason.
@@HumansAreShitFactories this shouldn't happen anywhere, everybody should afford basics. If you want more, work for it. Sure, some of this people probably spent their money on things they don't need but some genuinely struggle. I'm single and I can barely afford 1 bedroom flat on minimum wage, heating is off most off the day. "Money makes money" that's why rich people are rich (and will get richer) and poor will be poor, please don't give me that motivational cr*p I see everywhere on UA-cam. You can be most organised and disciplined person and still be poor. It sure helps but won't make you insanely rich
@@bartk8672 well you should’ve made better life decisions.
It's good that some people are helping the homeless. Everyone needs a house to live in.
Not the English
It's not just the Homeless that are dying of the cold.
These people aren't homeless but they don't have the money to heat their homes.
Yeah they are putting them up in hotels at 6 mill a day, you have to be an illegal immigrant tho!
It's not only the unhoused people using these warm banks. Housed people cannot afford to heat their homes and THEY are using these banks as well. Did you not watch and listen to the entire video??
Community is a beautiful thing, hard times are tough but good folk like these are tougher. Sending love from across the pond.❤
The guy with the dog ( white with black ears) you can really tell the love he has for her....a dog that loves you, is sometimes the best of a companion for you...PS as a non Brit....I find it difficult sometimes to see how the poorer people can still have their queens pictures up....when she was alive she didn't want for much....unlike alot of these....young and older ones...
I don’t personally use charity but I feel thankful to have them so people who need them have a place to stay, have others to stay with and have some joy in this hard time.
As was proven in the post war period charity is no substitute for a proper social safety net.
We tried charities doing what the state should have been doing in the Victorian era, it took until the welfare state was established for workers to actually make some gains.
@@jodders619 Charity is far better than nothing, but you are so right; it's not enough. I remember Christians in the U.S. saying they didn't want universal health care because they wanted people to have to come to them begging for help.
@@jodders619I agree. there will always be room for charities because even a well run state would miss some people. that's what charities should be for, not for people who would clearly meet every criteria the state would reasonably set to qualify for support
Everyone can reach out a hand and/or financial help to one’s neighbors. It will come back double fold.
@@kerrynight3271 Source? You misremember. MSM would have been all over that sentiment in a heartbeat to broadcast nation wide.
It's bad enough seeing the grown ups struggling but when I see the kids worrying about how much food they have and whether they will have a warm home it just makes me sick. While these energy giants are raking it in to the tune of billions our children are growing up in poverty. No government that claims to be democratic should allow such a thing. It's like we have regressed back to the Victorian Era! 😖
working class...I learned this
It’s disgraceful. All of this whilst the energy suppliers such as British Gas make record profits... something really is wrong.

Why on Earth did this country leave one of the largest 'trading blocks' on the planet....this must have had an affect??
to stop the endless foreigners that take endless money that should be going to people like this
Why? That's an easy one. It's because the EU introduced Regulations to cap Bankers' bonuses after the financial crash in 2008 and prevent the Banks from acting irresponsibly in future. You may have noticed Jeremy Hunt's recent announcement to repeal those Regulations.......... yet another reason for the rich to party.
The UK is already the second largest military donor to Ukraine, committing £2.3bn in 2022.
Nowhere in this video is trade or the "bloc" cited as the cause. These current hardships are a combination of numerous different factors, with the global cost of gas and electricity due to the war in Ukraine being chief of among them - a challenge faced by all of the European "bloc" collectively. To suggest that this is somehow all the result of Brexit is nothing more than moronic confirmation bias.
@@_Quint_ He didn't say "all because of Brexit" he questioned that it must have some affect to what is going on today in the UK, You cant just leave trading with the EU single market and everything is fine and dandy, there must of been Some backlash.

As sad as this suitation is that people need warm spaces to eat and keep out of the cold, I'm sure social connections are being made in these spaces that wouldn't have been made if people stayed at home. There will be long lasting positives that come from the internations that occur in these spaces.
Well said, this is exactly why if the library is open I go there instead so no one will talk to me.
You must be a Tory voter.
Very condescending comment
Lives are at stake. Think about it on a wider scale with disabled and elderly and ill people. It's not a jolly bonus, everyone ought to be safe warm and well fed. Think "hierarchy of needs" - 2022.....and we live like this.
Like the Germans bombing brought the country ‘together’.
Meanwhile, members of parliament have second homes with heated swimming pools that are empty. Now we have the truly needy and the truly greedy.
The working-class have had goodness knows how many years worth of wage rises wiped out by the greedy bastards at the top, it's as simple as that 😡
because of mass migration
yes........ Simple as that.....
From what I've experienced on my last few grocery shops in Enfield Town you would never think that fuel and goods were too expensive, or that people are short of money. The shops are constantly heaving, and the roads are jam-packed solid.
I was about to say the same thing. In my town the shops have been packed for days now. Somebody’s telling lies.
Cool story bro
It's the same in Islington/King's Cross. Jam-packed as usual.
People are maxing out on borrowing and credit cards just to survive. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Government won't do much or all they should to help whilst careing people are doing it. They are saving pockets full of money at some people's expense. We are living in The End Times.
@@oscargrainger2962 I’m sure not every single person in your town is out and about happily shopping. Newsflash many people do struggle not every news film is a conspiracy lol.

I can’t help noticing that quite a lot of the people in this video are severely overweight …. I’m by no means judging them, I’m just shocked that a completely random cluster of normal people all look so badly out of shape 😮 … they are already vulnerable in terms of health and security … 😟
If one likes in poverty one will not buy the healthiest food.
I see lots of rotten teeth too. I thought you had free health care. In UK I saw lots of poor disabled people in the small towns. Arabs in London driving million dollar gold cars. I took pictures.
Dental care is not included. And health care is not free, it's paid for via National Insurance contributions, which is in addition to income tax.
My mate got locked up just to get 3 meals a day and be warm for a few months.
£5 billion to Ukraine, imagine what that could have done to help the UK.
I think so help with another country but not our country 😕
Bigger picture. Russia has been fkn with the west for 20 years. Pushing Brexit to make us poorer, encouraging a refugee crisis in Europe. They won't stop unless we stop them
Putin if you see this take over the right wing people houses clearly that's what they want
That £5 billion goes into the pockets of the shareholders of UK companies who make guns, tanks and bullets that get sent to Ukraine. Yet another route that the Tories look after their rich mates by way of 'Foreign Aid'.
Imagine 5 billion to the NHS. OOops that’s definitely not gonna happen with the torys
Living on the equator is very comfortable... The sun shines for 12 Hours....
I feel sorry for that guy with the old dog, I would be devastated if anything happened to my Little dog. I recently found my next door neighbour crying on the door step with her dog next to her, she had to give him away because she couldn’t afford to feed him. I told her I would buy his food and have done ever since. I’m not letting her give him away.
The British should take inspiration from the French when they protest.
Its not the British way of protesting and we are too nice as a country to stick up for ourselves and the rest of the world knows this and the rest of the world is flooding into Britain and taking our country for themselves.
Absolutely. Viva La Revolution and storm the bastille!
And Brazilians should stop supporting such an immoral Republic and think of other forms and systems of government like a Confederation or a Monarchy.
The British Crown is cheaper to maintain than the Republic in Brazil. It's insane! The difference is that the UK is a developed country, while Brazil is a third world country.
I can relate to this , was a junior doctor in the nhs during the financial crisis of 2008 , had to think twice before buying anything to eat . The British are a resilient bunch however their benefit system is too generous and with wages being low - it’s easier to be on benefits than it is to go out and eek a living. Hard work is just not rewarded enough . Intelligent folks not respected enough .
It's wonderful to see these instances of a community coming together, but the British people need their government now more than ever and the Tory government is MIA. Why people in the UK aren't out with pitchforks and torches is beyond me - its obvious it's time for a new direction
Maybe because after 12 years of Tory austerity and a Labour party intent on destroying itself from within and looking increasingly like a Tory clone they've decided it's futile.
It’s time for a new direction for sure, but the revolving system of politics and politicians is corrupt and destroyed , to carry on as is, is simply being slaves to the system, and none of the politicians are going to sort a system that works for them, keeping them in jobs and a lifestyle they have become used too, they are mere parasites 🦠 and are so detached from the lives they claim to represent it has all become simply political theatre , smoke and mirrors, lie after lie after lie , deception of the trust people blindly put in them 💯🤷♂️, you just couldn’t make this up and wouldn’t believe it possible in modern times , there is truly no honour among thieves and they don’t even bother trying to hide it , they are aware of the apathetic public .
Because the UK is no longer a homogeneous Society . Mass immigration out and end to that !
Now there are various competing
groups . Some of them quite open about their hatred of Britain !
After being given a new life in this country .
We voted leave now we are broke. 🇬🇧🤦♂️
In unity is the way 😊
The luxurious life of the past decades has made the British subjects to be docile IMHO, otherwise, City of London should have understood that people are cold and hungry by now.
Praying for all of the United Kingdom people
I know this is meant to be a happy clip, but I can't help but feel so sad watching this.
Wonder if the MP's these wonderful people employ are using warm banks too?
That’s where expenses come into their own 💯👍 and for the people they employ, that’ll come from allowances, friends and family mate c’mon 🤷♂️
I grew up in the seventies and there was no such thing as a warm bank or a food bank so I don't know what era the lady at 2.29 is talking about. Britain has gone back to Dickensian times. Maybe she is older than she looks.
It’s not cost of living - it’s cost of greed. Start framing it Honestly.
Children should not worry about basic needs. They should enjoy being children. It’s too sad.
Mostly northerners in this video. Sad to be how poverty is still concentrated there.
go to combi boiler, turn radiator dial down to 55c, this is the peak flow, turn radiator valves to 20c, this is number 3, then use your thermostat to switch heating on only 30 minutes a time, you only need take the chill of the room, i use full gas central heating at 2 units per day meter, that is 2x11x10.34. roughly £2.40 a day, You Can heat your home, for less the £25 per week, paying over 52 weeks, so in credit by winter, people saying they can not heat their homes is nonsense, they need teaching how to use central heating,
Even when it seems there's no hope , you see Good people like this and for a moment you remember why your proud to be a brit , the respect I have for these people couldn't be any further apart from the absolute disgust and hate I have for the goverment of the last 12 years , if I had my way we would cover them in honey and throw them in a bear pit , boris johnson was the biggest mistake this country ever made , sleaze , scandal and corruption oozed out of that vile human being , I know the war and covid happened but it was going down hill way before that , lie after lie after lie , look at what they have done to this country and our NHS , this is what happens when you let the rich and privileged do what ever they want without consequence , we are truly broken , its actually quite scary
Convid was just the start........................................................................
Awww this country gone to the dogs bless them x
These warm banks and food banks are truely uplifting according to the tories, its not costing them anything. When are the poor houses opening ?
Sad situation. Government needs to restrict utility companies from overcharging .
The UK is already the second largest military donor to Ukraine, committing £2.3bn in 2022.
My brother in Scotland has cut off rooms and only puts his heat on for 3hrs a day. 2023, he is 86 years old and can't heat his home, shame on that wee yn with her bankroll to have another referendum give it to people so they can be warm - Ukraine - Scotland both suffering cold one by Russia the other by their own govt.
I left my details at the local food bank with instructions to get in touch if anyone brings in a bottle of Baileys.
Still waiting. Stingey Britain!
Warm banks are so wonderful! Brits are not stupid. Y'all gonna come through just fine.
Sharing will save the world.

In fact where’s our PM these days?
My heart is breaking I live in the UK and I'm disabled without using expletives I think you can probably guess what I think of the present government
Hope some Devine big screen could just appear in front of number 10 and all the royal residents where these freeloaders live, I just don't think they fully understand what people out there are going through. The other day the queen consort paraded with 'celebrity' friends while going for an obvious expensive meal, and the other free loaders were parading in burgundy coats grinning and waving to peasants as they went in a warm buildingfor a Christmas event. Where is the outrage from the British public? 😏😏 The irony is that these same people that are suffering are the ones who would go out and stand in the cold and an empty stomach just to get a wave, a smile or a lucky hand shake from the royals, smdh 🤦🏽♀️ 🤦♂️
Ordinary folk helping Ordinary folk .Shame on our government.
It's not a recesition it's The uk,s Great leap Backwards.
as a canuck i am stunned into silence: heat... or eat? the british?! what a gawdam disgrace.
I am also accustomed to canadian buildings of any kind - industrial, commercial, residential - being very carefully insulated for energy efficiency. double-paned windows with plastic spacers, special coatings on the glass, gas-filled (argon is best). carpeted floors, slippers. insulated ceilings, roofs clad nowadays with insulated shingles or insulated metal panels. how are british homes and flats constructed? what are the materials used? how do you heat - steam/water, hydro baseboards, central gas, heat pumps, ground pump assist...?
i have never been to Great Britain but as someone living in a damned cold country I think a lot of the expense of heating a home in the British Isles could be attributed to construction, energy efficiency standards, and materials used. could someone offer me any information?
Bawling watching this bawling 😭
why the sad music though
To many babies being born. It all adds up to a crisis with housing. Energy. Food. Going up! Made to work and have no savings. God bless you all.
