Newcastle food bank braced for 'horrible disaster' as cost of living crisis hits families hard

When Newcastle West End Food Bank first started collecting outside of St James' Park on a match day, volunteers had no idea that they would still be there five years on.

Now as the country faces a cost of living crisis, the food bank is bracing itself for a worrying increase in demand as the cost of living crisis bites.

And volunteers say we are heading for a "hard, horrible, disaster".
