People are not looking forward to Christmas
For many people across Leeds this Christmas, there will be no sparkling lights, no presents under the Christmas tree and it will be a struggle just to make ends meet.
“Christmas is Christmas either way for my family, we don’t earn a lot of money, we can’t do a proper Christmas like other people but it’s still the same time of year. We get by, it’s difficult and with the recent prices going up we have to make do. He said: “Food banks are there to help us. It’s the Government that need blaming that we have to use them but I will if it means the family can have a better time.”
The 33-year-old mum-of-two said: “I lost my mum and dad years ago. Christmas is always hard and I don’t earn a lot to provide the kids with lots of toys and things. It’s hard, I wish we got a bit more support during this time. The costs are too high to make it really special.
