Families across the UK are "scared" as the winter months bring uncertainty and financial hardship.
'Warm hubs' have become a life-line for residents across Knowsley as the cost of living increases and many families find themselves struggling financially and emotionally. For one woman, without this opportunity, she could "go weeks without seeing or speaking" to anyone.
Earlier this month, Knowsley Council announced it would be implementing a number of ‘warm hubs’ to help those concerned about the cost of living crisis. All libraries in the borough will be open six days a week from November 1.
