A children's charity boss has hit out at the 'devastating' affect the costs of living crisis is having on some of the region's most vulnerable families.
Imran Hussain, policy director of Action for Children, has called for extra help for the poorest families, who he says are already having to make real choices between heating and eating and are feeding their children at the expense of adults in the household.
"It is a grim time to be poor and on Universal Credit," said Mr Hussain.
