Liverpool mum who helped 2,000 families during cost of living crisis

Today (Wednesday, March 8) is International Women's Day, an annual event which celebrates the achievements of women.

One inspirational Liverpool woman has gone above and beyond to support local families during the cost of living crisis. Mother-of-four Kate Stewart has helped over 2,000 families across the city, by offering free meals, heat, entertainment, Christmas presents and free school uniforms.

Kate Stewart owns The Sandon Complex in Anfield and opened up the venue's hospitality suites to help those in need. Families travelled from across the city to take advantage of the hot meals, heat and entertainment, with people turning out in their hundreds each week.
