Leonie Carr is a single mother with three children and has been a regular user of the foodbank in Guernsey which is facing increased demand as costs rise.
Guernsey Welfare Service has created a new hub at the Bridge in St Peter Port to provide goods to those in need as the number of times a household visits them has risen by 30%.
Leonie Carr is a single mother with three children and has been a regular user of the foodbank for several years - as a St Sampson resident, she is now able to go to one much closer to home. Leonie's basic outgoings are increasing, ranging from food to electricity, and she says it is a relief to know this extra help is here.
She explains: "I've got three children to feed so as long as I've fed them, I don't care. I will feed myself but as long as my kids have got food on the table and food in the cupboards, then I'm happy with that." Leonie Carr is a single mother of three children and regularly uses the foodbank to help make ends meet.Inflation in Guernsey, the rate at which prices are increasing, is 5.8% - more than double that of the UK.Want a quick and expert briefing on the biggest news stories?
