The rise of public health funerals and the cost of dying crisis demands better welfare support and greater regulation of the funeral industry. The UK’s cost of dying crisis means many can’t afford funerals, forcing a rise in basic public health burials. The latest PRAN blog post from Michael Brennan calls for stronger welfare support, tighter funeral industry regulation, and fairer, affordable options. In his previous blog, Michael explored how the cost of living crisis is affecting the experiences of people with terminal illness. In this piece, he turns to another dimension of the cost of dying crisis: funeral poverty, and the growing difficulty many people in the UK face in affording the cost of a basic funeral, either for themselves or for a deceased family member. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6596a8d5cadd704ea25971ae/1763989820889-ZZ8B7INM2W7RXUOZDCDI/Oxford_Event.png Blog / News - PRAN NEWSLETTER ISSUE 23: January 2026 - Bursaries Available: Join Us for the Early Career Forum 2026.

The piece highlights the UK’s growing “cost of dying” crisis, where many terminally ill people face severe financial strain alongside the emotional challenges of approaching the end of life. Loss of income, rising energy bills, treatment-related expenses, and limited access to benefits leave many dying in poverty. The author calls for stronger state support, including early access to the state pension, to ease this burden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6596a8d5cadd704ea25971ae/1763989820889-ZZ8B7INM2W7RXUOZDCDI/Oxford_Event.png Blog / News - PRAN NEWSLETTER ISSUE 21: November 2025 - Save the date: Early Career Symposium When: 6th of May, 2026 Where: Oxford Join us on 6 May 2026 at the University of Oxford for the Early Career Symposium, Forging Connections: Early Career Voices on Poverty and Social Justice.

You care deeply about change, and you’re eager to make a difference—but the reality you encounter is often harsh. Jobs can be short-term and low-paid, the emotional weight of witnessing injustice can feel overwhelming, and mentorship and support are scarce. Many of us are navigating these challenges, and perhaps, if you’re reading this, you are too. This is why the Poverty Research and Advocacy Network (PRAN) is launching the Early Career Forum—a space for people at the start of their social justice careers to connect, share knowledge, and support one another. In this blog, I want to outline why this forum is needed and introduce what it will offer. https://www.pran.org.uk/blog/pran-newsletter-issue-19-september-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6596a8d5cadd704ea25971ae/248609d4-29a8-4001-8ddb-76698ec9771e/Pran1-5.png Blog / News - PRAN NEWSLETTER ISSUE 19: September 2025 - Dear PRAN MEMBERS After a short summer break, we’re delighted to return with more updates!

This blog is about three things: (1) How debt contributes to class inequality, (2) How working-class people resist the inequalities of debt – and, more specifically, (3) Why ignoring debts can sometimes make them go away.

The online event brought together researchers, advocates, and community members to discuss a powerful collection of interdisciplinary articles examining the multifaceted impacts of the crisis. Speakers and attendees discussed key themes such as food and housing insecurity, debt, and the emotional toll of financial precarity. The event underscored the need for structural reform - highlighting calls for stronger social protections, fairer work, and policies that centre lived experience. This event will be featured in our upcoming Cost of Living Chronicles podcast segments.

Increases in the cost of living hit poorest households hardest and women are generally more likely to live in poverty across their lifetimes. The Women’s Regional Consortium in Northern Ireland wanted to show, through our research work, how women’s lives were being impacted by the Crisis. In June 2023, in partnership with Ulster University, we published a major research report carried out with 250 local women which showed the impacts of the Cost-of-Living Crisis across a range of areas of women’s lives. https://www.pran.org.uk/blog/pran-newsletter-issue-15-april-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6596a8d5cadd704ea25971ae/168139a4-7ab3-4c85-8f0f-4b9a4615a178/Liverbird1.png Blog / News - PRAN NEWSLETTER ISSUE 15: April 2025 - Dear PRAN MEMBERS This month, we bring you key updates from across the network and our friends.

These individuals are among the most vulnerable in society, often enduring severe financial constraints. Asylum seekers receive around £45 per week per person, equivalent to under £7 per day. Many face prolonged waiting periods, often waiting months or even years for decisions on their asylum claims. Unsafe living conditions are a common reality, including overcrowded, damp, and insecure housing. Social challenges persist even after obtaining refugee status, with many newly recognised refugees struggling with homelessness and destitution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6596a8d5cadd704ea25971ae/f9504c8e-362c-4cfb-b853-1bc79e4312e3/PranAdvisoryBoard.png Blog / News - PRAN NEWSLETTER ISSUE 12: January 2025 - Introducing PRAN’s Advisory Board We are excited to announce the formation of PRAN’s advisory board!

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) neglects to ensure £23bn in benefits reach low-income citizens, despite stringent tax enforcement by HMRC.

The Dickensian Christmas inspires media stories of poverty, often silencing those affected. Dr Broady urges inclusive reporting, amplifying voices to tackle stereotypes and year-round poverty. Rachel Broady is a lecturer in Media, Culture, and Communication, at Liverpool John Moores University. She has many years of experience as a journalist, writing for newspapers and magazines. She has also experienced poverty first-hand and knows what going without at Christmas is like. Rachel’s new book ‘Poverty and Protest as Public Discourse During the Cotton Crisis’ is to be released in 2025 https://www.pran.org.uk/blog/a-very-dickensian-christmas monthly 0.5 2025-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6596a8d5cadd704ea25971ae/1733942347836-9A5VQI2LSNP85HVO803K/Povertyandprotest.png Blog / News - A Very Dickensian Christmas - The Dickensian idea of Christmas is entrenched in our culture. Dickens’ writing doesn’t just influence our festivities, it also influences the news we get at this time of year because journalists revisit the traditional and strong sentimental link between poverty and Christmas. In writing A Christmas Carol, Dickens is said to be the man who reimagined the season as characterised by the spirit of giving. So perhaps it’s no surprise that, as celebrations near, we see news stories focusing on helping the homeless over the festive season, providing children in poverty with gifts, seeing volunteers donate time and food. These stories can bring hope, they can encourage donations, make people aware of the struggles Christmas can bring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6596a8d5cadd704ea25971ae/640bda6c-525f-4218-a42a-bf7183aa1c1c/NUJ+guide+to+reporting+poverty+1+image.jpg Blog / News - A Very Dickensian Christmas - This isn’t “bah humbug,” and it isn’t to dismiss the essential work of volunteers, or even to say that there aren’t other ways in which journalists report. This talking about people in poverty conveniently keeps them at a distance. My own experience of poverty, my years as a journalist, and my more recent academic research, tells me the annual revisiting of people in poverty to illustrate the broader Christmas experience is a problem: it risks us emotionalising, even enjoying, rather than eradicating one of society’s ills. After all, if this approach began with Dickens publishing A Christmas Carol, that’s over 180 years. Time for a change? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6596a8d5cadd704ea25971ae/1719832939158-Z3PFV701WY0XESNCHWM8/Reporting_Poverty_Guide.png Blog / News - A Very Dickensian Christmas - I worked with Church Action on Poverty, in Salford, to produce the first Guide to Reporting Poverty for Journalists. I then collaborated with Joseph Rowntree Foundation to produce the most recent Reporting Poverty A Guide for Media Workers.

It is a disaster by design, the inevitable consequence of years of austerity, underfunding of vital social services, and a failure to address growing poverty and inequality. Nevertheless, the experience of the crisis is devastating, and life-altering and will have a long-lasting impact on many. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6596a8d5cadd704ea25971ae/1704461297034-4AHM1AK3GQHR005GL7UU/Visual_Minutes1.jpeg Blog / News - PRAN NEWSLETTER ISSUE 1: JULY 2023 - Image 1.

Health impacts are severe: shorter life expectancies, increased mental health issues, and more pressure on health services. Schmuecker proposes pathways to change, including raising social security to meet essential needs through an "Essentials Guarantee," promoting quality jobs with adequate pay, and strengthening housing rights. Urgent policy recommendations for the upcoming budget include reforming Universal Credit, ending Local Housing Allowance freezes, and ensuring funding for local welfare assistance.
