Emily, in North Yorkshire, says she often misses meals to make sure her children have enough to eat.
Mother-of-three Emily says she has found herself in debt attempting to buy enough food for her family
Scrolling down her phone at home in Harrogate, she shows listings on Facebook Marketplace of a vacuum cleaner, slippers, toys and clothes. "If they were all at school full-time it would be easier, but until then I’m a bit strapped for choices," she says.It is not just Emily feeling the pinch this summer.
Ms Thornber adds: "Even within the holidays, there are people on call – me as the headteacher, our family support worker and the deputy head – delivering food to families, making sure they are provided for, even through the holidays.Meanwhile, Reverend Darryl Hall, of St Cuthbert’s Church in Pateley Bridge, is stocking up the church's foodbank for summer.
The council is also distributing shopping vouchers worth £140 to about 21,500 eligible households, according to a spokesperson. Max May, strategic director of North Yorkshire Together, says: “North Yorkshire has a vast geography, so not all families will have FEAST activities in their immediate vicinity. However, FEAST offers free transport to ensure everyone can participate."
