Right, so what they've got in there this week, I haven't finished putting stuff in yet.

They've got toffee sundaes, peanut butter, gravy carrots and a pie.

This is the calm before the storm.

Tanya, I'm putting a milkshake in the fridge.

OK, my love.

I've done it myself in the past where I've had to choose my kids eating or me.

So I'm like, no, the kids eat, obviously.

But now, if I can help somebody else take that decision away, they all can eat, that's what I do.

I've lived on the bread line.

I've lived from paycheck to paycheck.

So I know what it's like to juggle bills, food shopping, just normal expenses.

I've been there, I've done that, I've got the T-shirt.

Most of our people in this community is in receipt of some benefits.

We are classed as a poverty area.

But the community, when the community needs to be a community, we all pull together.

and we all come together and we all help each other.

I'd say by the time they've paid all their bills, you know, like all your important bills, your rent, your gas, your electric, TV, licence, water, there's some people who work as a full-time job who's left with no money for a food shop.

None.

And they go through banks and everything like that because they haven't got no money left.

You know, because rent has shot up, council taxes shot up.
