A woman lost two stone in six weeks as she prioritised feeding her children after losing her job. Kelly Young lost her job in December 2021 and was left struggling to feed her four children as well as keeping up with rent payments.
As a result, she lost two stone in six weeks to make sure her children had enough to eat. The 41-year was referred to Annexe Communities, which has just received an award of £23,500 from the National Lottery Community Fund, where £1.5 million will distributed to 73 groups to help with the increase in living costs.
Annexe Communities provides emergency provisions to local people and households in Partick. As well as distributing food vouchers, clothing vouchers and energy top-ups the group will now be able to run a soup social and provide soup packs with all the relevant ingredients needed for people to make their favourite soups at home.
