‘I can’t afford to help the community’

Our colleagues at Radio 5 Live have been visiting the New Parks area of Leicester since the cost of living crisis began. Donna runs a food bank in the area and says "more and more people" are coming for help, but she and her partner are struggling to keep it open. "We're having to cut down on our voluntary work in the community because we can't afford the petrol, we need it ourselves for the shopping," she says. "I personally do 300 miles a week, so that's not feasible any more... I can't afford to help the community and it makes me feel really bad."My family comes before anyone else and as much as I want to help somebody, it's coming to a time where I can't." Shaun is a dad to three young boys. He says a lack of money is causing arguments in his house. "[The kids] don't understand that once you've paid your bills, there's nothing extra to play with," he says. "We as a family go out probably once a month because that's all we can do... they don't understand it and it's hard, but once they're older I suppose they'll understand."
