How can the Chancellor act?

The Chancellor can act through policy changes outlined in the Budget. This might include increasing welfare benefits, raising the minimum wage, or introducing measures to tackle the cost of living crisis. These actions aim to improve people's financial resilience, reducing their reliance on food banks, as Trussell is urging.
