Thousands of children across Merseyside will receive free food vouchers this holiday period.
As the cost of living crisis continues to grip households across the region, many families are forced to make some difficult financial decisions. Knowsley council has since put in a host of support to ensure the vulnerable are not left to suffer, especially over Christmas.
