Penrith charity struggles to pay soaring power bills

Mama Lana’s Community Foundation founder Lana Borg says the cost-of-living crisis is “taking its toll on everybody” as her charity struggles to cope with high power bills. Ms Borg said her Penrith charity cooks up to 400 meals a day. “The need for our meals is increasing everyday and it’s increased quite a lot since COVID,” she told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “We’ve just re-signed a three-year lease and it’s the first time in ten years that I’m actually thinking that maybe I should have rethought that, because we’ve only got enough money to last another year. “I don’t know what we’re going to do if the bills keep coming in this way.”
