Ok, so we won’t win any media awards for this video, but we are proud to have made our first ever TikTok. We wanted to do something to show solidarity with people caught up in, what folk call, the cost of living crisis.
Alongside the video we posted on YouTube, we have added some information on where people can get help and support (and at the end of this article too).
We have three key messages for people feeling the strain:
- This crisis isn’t your fault
- It’s ok to ask for help
- We need to help each other
