Cost of living protests happening in Brighton and Eastbourne today
The People's Assembly have organised 24 protests across the country
Protests against increases to the cost of living are taking place across the UK this weekend, including in Eastbourne and Brighton.
They're being organised following the recent news that energy regulator Ofgem will be making a huge rise in the energy price cap by 54 per cent to £1,971 a year from this April.
Lucette Davies is a member of the People's Assembly in Eastbourne and will be at the rally today.
She said: "People are really scared, people don't know how they're going to manage. I think they're angry as well because I and many others know that this is avoidable.
"When ordinary people have less money, they can't spend it so every business suffers. Everything we buy will go up in price as well because businesses have to pay these hikes in energy prices. Everything is going to become more expensive.
"We've used the phrases 'heating or eating' and we've had foodbanks for a long time now. It's almost like a myth to say we're an advanced, developed country when we're doing the sorts of things that we are doing."
The Government has announced a support package to help people deal with the cost of living.
