Nearly one in 10 parents 'very likely' to need food bank due to soaring cost of living

Nearly one in 10 parents are "very likely" to need to use a food bank in the next three months, a survey has found.

Due to the soaring cost of living, thousands of parents across the country are struggling to make ends meet, with some resorting to using food banks to help them.

The new survey, carried out by Deliveroo and food bank charity Trussell Trust, shows that some 9% of parents - or 1.3 million - said they expect to visit a food bank to cope with the cost of living, with 88% saying their monthly food shop has increased in price over the past three months.
