The UK is facing a winter crisis, with people struggling to afford necessities like food and heating. The cost-of-living crisis is making it challenging for people to make ends meet, and winter is only making things worse.
With colder weather likely, shorter days and longer nights, it can also be hard to find the time and motivation to cook and eat healthy, balanced meals.
It is safe to say that winter in the UK can be a particularly tough time for some when it comes to food.
If you or someone you know is struggling, then take a look below and see what support is available to Bury residents.
