A South Belfast foodbank has said that the cost of living crisis is having a huge impact on people in the city as it issues a call for support ahead of the summer holidays.
The South Belfast Foodbank, which is part of the Trussell Trust network, has been operating since 2014 in the city and said that the past year has seen a large spike in demand for their services as families are struggling to afford to heat and electricity in their homes.
It says that new people are coming to the foodbank every week, with many having to be signposted to other services as they try to find ways of getting financial support for their bills.
