‘Half my income goes on energy bills’

BBC Sounds
About this episode

The charity, Sense, has made the unusual move of giving out cash directly to households who have a family member with complex disabilities and are struggling with the rising cost of living.

Mum-of-two, Kelly, who has MS, tells Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey she and her family are already in debt and, right now spend half their income on energy.

And comedian Laurence Clark talks about how the global pandemic finally gave him the time to do what he really loves - write. His debut sitcom, Perfect, is broadcast on Friday 26 August.

Produced by Beth Rose, Keiligh Baker and Emma Tracey Recorded by Emma Crowe and mixed by James Beard The editors were Damon Rose and Jonathan Aspinwall
