Cash Chats UK Money & Personal Finance podcast #149 Fighting food poverty and helping foodbanks
It's expected that record numbers of households are currently unable to afford basic essentials like food.
A 61% increase is expected in demand for a food parcel this winter - and those figures were from before the new lockdowns.
So what can you do? We're not all Marcus Rashford but we can all do our bit.
In this episode I talk to fellow money bloggers Faith Archer and Nicola Richardson about ways to support your local foodbank, including getting involved in the UK Money Bloggers' #FoodbankAdvent challenge.
