A teaching assistant has described how she had to cut back on heating last winter and has no spare money because wages are so low. She said the cost of living crisis has had a "crippling" effect on her.
Rebecca Ring, who works at Ysgol Uwchradd Aberteifi in Cardigan said any spare money she has goes on energy bills and food. The mother of four is calling on colleagues to back a strike ballot launched by Unison.
“The effects of the cost of living crisis have been crippling, Rebecca said, "any spare money I’ve had has gone on energy bills and food. Without government assistance with our energy bills, we would be behind on them."
