"A quarter of people are planning to ask for food and borrow money from friends and family this winter, while around one in 10 younger parents said they would need to use a baby bank for essentials, according to a survey."
"The festive period has seen another surge in demand for help from people in need, a charity which runs a baby-bank network said. Little Village said the parents they saw were struggling to afford warm clothing and bedding, as well as toys for their children this Christmas."
"The charity said it had already supported over 7,560 children this year, helping 25% more families across London than at the same point in 2022. Its research, carried out by Yonder Data Solutions, saw 845 families in the UK and a further 300 in London asked about their financial worries this Christmas."
