Children in Oldham are more likely to be born into poverty than in any other borough in Greater Manchester - with families facing heartbreaking cutbacks to stay afloat.
A new 'Poverty Monitor' report published this week revealed 64% of kids in Coldhurst - almost two in three - live below the breadline. More than a third of all children in Oldham face poverty, more than three times the national average.
Mum Ali Hoyle, 32, told the Manchester Evening News: "Every single shop we've gone in today our food has gone up. It's awful, you can't afford to live, especially with two kids to feed. I don't know what we'll do if things go up any more."
