There's no denying that the cost of living crisis has affected each and every one of us, but some have been hit harder than others.
And while I'm definitely feeling the pinch this Christmas amid the rising cost of energy bills, general housing costs, food, petrol and just about everything, it's hard to imagine just how bleak life can be for those who have nowhere to turn.
It's easy enough to report on the current crisis using statistics, figures and tips on how to save, but I wanted to find out what life is really like for those who don't know when or where their next meal is coming from. How do they survive? What help is available to these people? Is there an end in sight? What I discovered was something completely different.
