A charity has reported pressure from rising fuel prices as the cost of operating vehicles increases. BBC Business reported that both petrol and diesel prices have risen by a third or more in the past seven months.
The charity said, “We must keep going,” according to the source title. The available information does not identify the organisation, describe the services it provides or state how much its fuel costs have increased in cash terms.
The source does not provide details about the charity’s location, the number of vehicles affected, changes to its activities or any financial assistance it may receive. It also does not specify whether the higher prices have led to reduced services or other operational changes.
No confirmed next steps are given in the supplied material beyond the charity’s stated intention to continue. Further details about its response and the effect of fuel prices on its work are not available in the source record.
