One in 10 parents ‘very likely’ to use food banks to feed children over next three months

PA

The soaring cost of living could push more than a million parents to use a food bank in the next three months, a survey suggests.

Nearly one in 10 parents said they were “very likely” to need help with food and around nine in 10 said they were now paying more for their weekly shop, with inflation hitting 7 per cent in March – a 30-year high.
