SNP leadership contender Humza Yousaf has said he would launch a £1 million fund to stop community organisations which help people through the cost-of-living crisis going under.
His comments follow the announcement that average annual energy bills will rise from £2500 to £3000 as UK Government support ends.Mr Yousaf said: “With the fall in energy prices, the Tories must deliver a fall in energy bills and properly tax windfall profits. “A huge number of these lifeline organisations are facing a cost-of-operating crisis, struggling with energy costs, rent and other running costs.
“Because if we allow these organisations to go under, the costs of picking up the pieces will be much higher.”
