A WOMAN who spent nine months in a homeless hostel with cancer has spoken about her experience as work continues to improve how people living in poverty are treated.
Vicki Macphail told York councillors she had received a bill for £670 for care she never received and was still waiting for help she first requested in January.
Others working with York’s Poverty Truth Commission spoke about how they had been misjudged based on how they dressed as they called for those struggling to be treated with dignity.
The comments came as part of a presentation to York councillors as the Commission’s work continues.
