One in six British people are not confident that they are able to afford to put food on the table for their families, according to a new poll.
A YouGov survey of 1,717 adults taken in October found that a third of the public are less confident that they can afford food than they were this time last year. 17% of people asked overall said that they were currently either "not very confident" or "not at all confident" that they can provide food for their household.
11% of people admitted that they are "much less confident" about putting food on the table this year compared to last amid the cost of living crisis. Young adults were found to be the most concerned, with only half of 18 to 24-year-olds saying that they are confident they can afford the food they need.
