Families aren’t eating together as costs soar
According to a new report, families aren’t sitting down together for dinner, due to the soaring cost of living.
A poll of 1,050 families who collectively earn below £25,000 a year found they worry about not having enough food at home as often as three times a week.
Lindsay Boswell, FareShare chief executive, said: “The research shows that many families are not eating together due to worries about cost and we know that the rise in the cost of living means more people will be turning to local charities this winter.
“The food we provide does not just alleviate hunger, eating meals together helps people build relationships and tackles issues such as loneliness and mental well-being.
“The money raised by Crockpot will help us to continue to support nearly 9,500 charities providing care and support in their local communities so hopefully fewer families will be worrying about putting food on the table.”
