Inside an Edinburgh food bank on the frontline of the cost of living crisis

With the cost of living crisis gripping communities across Edinburgh, food banks are inundated with visitors trying to make ends meet.

Holy Trinity Church, in Wester Hailes, whose food bank is run by Reverend Rita Welsh, 70, along with a dedicated team of volunteers, is one such setting looking to help a variety of clients.

When the church food bank first opened up 14 years ago, after ministers noticed a need within their local congregation, there were around 25 regular users.
