A young woman who set up a pet food bank to help struggling Brits amid the cost of living crisis has given out 16,000 meals in nine months - but says rent costs have left the future of the project in jeopardy.
Tyesha Muncaster, 24, started A Helping Paw Pet Food Bank, in Ashington, Northumberland, last July to prevent people from being forced to give up their beloved companions.
After helping 40 animals in the first three days, and hundreds more that month, the demand soared and pet owners found themselves depending on her free care packages.
