hi -

we’ve been contacted by BBC Panorama who are looking for help with a programme they’re working on-

‘BBC Panorama is investigating the rise in the cost of living. We would like to speak to working people who are finding it difficult to make ends meet. With increases in food prices, rents and energy costs over recent years, wages are struggling to keep up.

We would like to hear from single people or couples, where both partners are in work, who are receiving working tax credits. We are hoping to speak to as many people as possible across the UK, to hear their experiences and get a true picture of the current situation.

We would hope initially to have a confidential conservation over the phone, with a view to finding one person or couple to film with as part of the programme. There is no obligation for people to take part in the programme once they’ve spoken with us, but it would be an opportunity to aid our research and for us to tell them a bit more about the film.

Please contact Hannah O’Grady on 07714 956 936 or via email (hannah.o’grady@bbc.co.uk) for more information.’

cheers - shawn
