People are working "every hour they can" and still struggling to afford food, says a man who runs a food bank in Cardiff. Mark Seed says some of his customers have resorted to eating pet food and heating their meals with candles.
Mr Seed runs the Trowbridge Pantry, part of the Your Local Pantry project, which supplies food in more than 80 neighbourhoods in the UK at low prices. The branch in Trowbridge offers food to more than 160 people. Mr Seed has been volunteering in the community for 20 years and said he was "shocked" by how much people were struggling. He told BBC Wales : "We have people who are eating pet food. [There are] people who are trying to heat their food on a radiator or a candle. Cardiff is a flourishing city however there are pockets of deprivation which are simply not acceptable."
