‘We like to lay on a three or four course meal for Christmas dinner and that would be hard to do this year without asking for a contribution’, says Mark who lives in South Lanarkshire and works in a call centre alongside Rebecca. ‘We all have to pull together at times like this’. ‘My mother wasn’t too happy about it when I asked for £10 each for her and my father.
