Andrew Taylor’s life fell apart during the pandemic, he lost his job, his wife and had to move out of his family home.
The Leeds father-of-one claimed most days he “does without” food because of rising prices and bills. This comes as households are estimated to pay an extra £700 on gas and electricity over the next year, after the lifting of the energy price cap in April, while 40 per cent of parents in Leeds have said they feel the need to skip meals as food prices soar.
Andrew, 45, lost his job at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. He was a delivery driver for a brewery, delivering barrels of beers and gin to clubs and pubs across Yorkshire in a large lorry. Those deliveries were of no use during lockdown.
