‘It got to the point where I said, 'this isn't right, we shouldn't be struggling so much just feeding our family,’

Food charity, The Felix Project, has surveyed more than 2,000 working parents in the capital, with a quarter saying they skipped meals or didn’t buy food for themselves so their children could eat.

She found someone giving away three large loaves of bread and thought ‘wow, I can actually make something – I made bread and butter pudding, I ended up making sandwiches for lunch’.
