#149 Fighting food poverty and helping foodbanks

It's expected that record numbers of households are currently unable to afford basic essentials like food. A 61% increase is expected in demand for a food parcel this winter - and those figures were from before the new lockdowns. So what can you do? We're not all Marcus Rashford but we can all do our bit. In this episode I talk to fellow money bloggers Faith Archer and Nicola Richardson about ways to support your local foodbank, including getting involved in the UK Money Bloggers' #FoodbankAdvent challenge. * Please do leave a review and rating if this saves you money. * LINKS More about #FoodbankAdvent https://becleverwithyourcash.com/foodbankadvent-how-it-works-and-why-you-should-take-part/ The Trussell Trust https://www.trusselltrust.org/  Nicola's blog The Frugal Cottage https://www.thefrugalcottage.com/ Faith's blog Much More With Less https://www.muchmorewithless.co.uk/  ABOUT CASH CHATS Cash Chats is presented by money blogger and broadcaster Andy Webb.
