Food bank realities: The mother thrilled to get hot water bottles so her children didn't have to go to bed in coats.
A blind pensioner living on custard creams after falling behind with gas payments is also among the tales of hardship seen every day by just one Welsh food bank
I can only see more and more people becoming dependent on food banks in the coming years, which is a shocking crime of the 21st century in a 'modern' society. We are certainly not 'all in it together' as the rich get richer the divide becomes even more apparent. A 'Free shop' has recently opened in Bristol to provide a variety of items such as clothes, blankets etc.
Sadly the demand for such shops is there for all to see.
