A mum from Northern Ireland has spoken about her worries about not being able to plan for the future due to the cost of living crisis.
Mum-of-one Alison said rising costs are having a real impact on her family, as they're unable to do things they would typically do this time of year like plan ahead for Christmas and look towards future summer holidays.
She shared her concerns on the first day of Parenting Week, as Parenting NI revealed the results of its Parent Mental Health, Wellbeing and Cost of Living survey.
