Recently a friend of mine was sanctioned by her Jobcentre for not being able to attend an appointment, due to extenuating circumstances on the day.

Most of her close friends and family either live abroad, or in various other parts of the country, so she has no-one nearby to rely on for help and support in time of crisis.

Whilst she was telling me about her current situation, I was so saddened to learn that the Government are sanctioning people during this cost of living crisis, and think that it should most definitely be stopped and not be allowed to happen to our most vulnerable members of society, especially in times such as these.
