Founder says families are having to choose between heating and eating
The founder of a new support group offering help to those impacted by the rising cost of living says it's 'really not acceptable' that families are having to choose between heating and eating.
Methodist preacher Jen Casson has set up 'Fulfil Communities' - which stands for Faith, United, a Listening ear, Food, Inclusive and Loving action.
The initiative aims to give those in need a place to open up about the pressures they face, as well as helping them access support services such as the foodbank and healthcare.
Jen says it's something that's impacted a broad section of society:
