Intentional or otherwise, the Food Bank / Elections sign during polling is a pretty stark image of the current situation facing more folk than you may realise.
I’m Welsh, my mum used food banks, and nobody is proud to use them, but it is a necessity for a growing number of people.
Some folks here like to think that work will prevent you from the need to go to food banks, but it is not that simple if you are a single parent, have left an abusive relationship, have disabilities that incur additional costs or anything else that will burden an already stretched budget.
One of the first things that will always get cut is a food expense, because food won’t complain if you’ve missed a bill. That’s why you’re seeing headlines of nurses going hungry.
