Difficulties facing Islanders outlined
Union officials say the reliance of many on the Island’s foodbank is a real eye-opener.
Unite last month donated £4,000 to the organisation.
It will be split across the north, east, south and west of the Island to help those struggling to make ends meet.
Chairman Debbie Halsall says the Island is not immune to problems facing many parts of the UK:
