A school is providing hundreds of meals a week to help families struggling with rising living costs.
A team of volunteers serve up about 300 meals a week which are given to parents and the wider community on a pay-as-you-feel basis.The project was first started to help people through the Covid pandemic but demand has remained high.Ms Black, the school's communities and partnerships officer, said: "If you're not on a high wage then you think about food all the time.
"With the cost of living, if you're worried about putting heat on over food, then parents will go without before they ever let their kids go without." The school works with local grocery stores to provide fruit and vegetables, which supplement the produce harvested from the kitchen garden .
