He works 10-hour shifts, seven days a week for £6.81 an hour - but is constantly worried about being able to pay the bills
A 20-year-old struggling amid the cost of living crisis has opened up about his daily battle to keep a roof over his head and food on the table. Ashley Goudou lives in a one-bedroom flat with his four dogs and four rescue cats in Bristol.
Ashley, who grew up in care before moving out aged 16, earns nearly £2,000 a month - but says his salary isn't enough since the cost of bills and food has tripled in the last year. He also visits Ambition Lawrence Weston community centre every Wednesday, where his animals receive free vet check-ups and he can pick up dog beds, cat litter and bags of food.
"Now the price of electrictricity and gas has gone through the roof, I'm struggling. Even pet food has tripled in price."I used to feed them four times a day, now I feed them twice and buy supermarket-own brands.
