MUM cant cook she`s gone to Iceland.

Vulnerable households are turning down food bank support because they cannot afford to cook the food provided.

Some families are turning down potatoes and root vegetables because they cannot afford to boil them due to skyrocketing energy costs, the managing director of supermarket chain Iceland has claimed..

I Find this such a sad challenge as been in community and youth all of my life, campaigned, spoke, acted,reflected,prayed, grieved about these issues.

NEVER never, really never thought it would become this bad.

So we battle onward. But it gets frustrating, daily battle, but so MUCH worse for many coming up, young families without support structures (myself along with professionals like me) developed to enable community voices to unite.

You killed us leaders of...so Vulnerable get no support.

we worked in a system that did not value us.

Worse for those without our knowledge,experience,understanding.

 @icelandrichard --Below my response to Iceland owner.

one way for all shops to help any further all in a struggle meeting food bills.

would be to return to loose veg and fruit displays

Then people can choose what levels to take home Less then six, as this appears to be the starting order.

If only fewer are required.person can choose that amount.

Of course it could also mean less waste. Certainly less cost to shopper.

Government sources added there was support packages including a tax cut, people on Universal Credit can keep more of what they earn, and crisis families can turn to a Household Support Fund. To put it more truthfully they don`t give a FRECK.
