Carer has to skip meals to ensure her daughter has enough food

Single mother Alicia Mehaffey, working as a carer in Northern Ireland, reveals how rising food costs have led her to skip meals to ensure her daughter has enough to eat. With UK inflation remaining at 3.8%, above the Bank of England's target, the cost of food and non-alcoholic drinks has risen by 4.5% in the past year. Food banks like the one Alicia relies on are feeling the strain as donations decrease while prices increase, highlighting the impact of inflation on everyday households.
