UK charities have issued a stark warning about how high energy prices will affect children's development over the winter months.
A survey by YouGov for the charity National Energy Action (NEA) and the Food Foundation found that some 24% of parents out of 4,000 households are buying less food since the start of the year in order to afford essentials.
Around 28% have cut back on the quality of food, and 13% say they have have eaten cold meals or meals that do not require cooking to save money on energy bills.
