Children in Sefton are at risk of going back to school 'poorly nourished' as families struggle to cope during the holidays, according to a council report released this week.
The report also details how the cost of living crisis is affecting people very differently depending on where in the borough they live.
While Sefton as a whole is the least deprived of the Merseyside boroughs, in Linacre ward in the Bootle area, people are living in one of the most deprived wards in the country.
