An East Belfast social supermarket says that it is seeing more working families than ever as the cost of living crisis impacts households across the city.
In This Together is a social supermarket based in the Network Centre on Templemore Avenue that helps close to 500 households in East and South Belfast every week with food parcels, financial advice and even mental health support. It also operates a weekly warm hub that has helped to bring people together who may be experiencing social isolation.
The organisation originally began around four years ago in a port-a-cabin the Willowfield Bowling Club, off the Cregagh Road, with it initially helping only a handful of households.
