Woman hit by cost of living crisis wins fuel voucher

The winner, Julie Gooding from Coventry Close, Severn Stoke, was excited to have won the giveaway - especially amid the current cost of living crisis.

She said: "I’m excited to have won something especially in the current climate.

“The rise in the cost of living makes you revaluate what you need to stop doing to cover the cost of important things that you need to pay for, such as energy bills. 

Julie Gooding: Fuel competition winner

"For me personally, I have had to cut back on non-essential things such as going out for meals, having my hair cut, cutting down on using the car and asking the question, do I really need to make that journey?

"All just to cover the bills and the increasing costs of fuel to enable me just to get to work and back. 

"It’s a real shame as not only does this affect people’s quality of life, by not being able to enjoy things that they have been used to doing, but it also has a knock-on effect for others such as the hospitality trade as this is usually the first thing that people will cut back on. 

"So, I would like to thank Worcester News for running this competition and providing me with the fuel to get me to work and back for at least a couple of weeks.”
