Data release

SupportFund publishes 139 historical observations on UK inflation, Bank Rate, Universal Credit and energy debt

Monthly ONS inflation and food-price series from 2022, every Bank Rate change since December 2021, and Ofgem's latest energy debt breakdown, all downloadable with sources attached.

Data release · Published 13 August 2026 · SupportFund

SupportFund has published 54 monthly CPI annual inflation observations and 54 monthly food and non-alcoholic beverage inflation observations from the Office for National Statistics, running from January 2022 to June 2026.

The import also includes every Bank of England official Bank Rate change from December 2021 to the 3.75% rate in force today, published Universal Credit caseload snapshots, and Ofgem's Q1 2026 breakdown of customers repaying energy debt and customers in arrears without a repayment arrangement.

Within the 2022 to 2026 series, food and non-alcoholic beverage inflation peaked at 19.1% in March 2023.

Every observation is stored once with its publisher, release title, source URL, reference period and last-checked date. Nothing is interpolated, smoothed or back-cast: where official data is sparse, such as the Universal Credit caseload, the series is labelled as irregular official snapshots and gaps are left visible.

New line charts for inflation and Bank Rate are downloadable as PNG, SVG and CSV, and can be embedded free of charge with attribution.

“A single month's inflation figure tells you very little on its own. Publishing the full published run, with every source attached, lets people see where household costs actually came from — and where they still are.”
