'I've never seen this issue. It's never been this bad.'
A charity which distributes surplus food to charities across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire has warned that it is running out of supplies.
The Hull-based operation is one of 30 regional centres and sends food to places including Scarborough and Malton in North Yorkshire as well as North Lincolnshire's Kirton in Lindsey. Kia Macpherson, who helps at the centre, said they have 300 households on their books and that number was increasing by between eight and 10 each week.
"We are praying that the government declares a national crisis in order open up Defra and funding sources to see us through the winter."Ms Colgrave said the charity was now "begging" for food from suppliers.
