On an overcast May afternoon, Leanne Kay pushes her pram across Salford Precinct. Like millions across the country, the mum-of-two is worried about the rising cost of living.
Rising gas and electricity bills for her two-bedroom flat have left the mum-of-two "skint" and fearful that things are only going to get worse. "I put money on the smart meter and it's just going within a day," she explained.
"I used to use like £1 a day but now it's £4. It's hard, especially when you have a baby. I have to put the heating on and what about food? I'm struggling and I'm worried it'll all go up again."
