As the cost of living crisis continues in Northern Ireland, the team at one local charity is taking matters into their own hands.
The Ashton Centre in the New Lodge area of North Belfast has launched a community food store to help those in the local area through a holistic approach.
Differing from a food bank, The Pantry operates on a weekly membership fee of £5 where members can receive up to £40 worth of groceries for a period of 12 weeks.
