A says, “I never thought in a million years that I would be here at a food bank, I suppose just because of my pride. When you’re used to a certain lifestyle and then you have to… sort of… pride on the floor, well you just have to adjust I suppose. It’s for my kids; it’s not for me. I’m a single parent, who didn’t intend on it being that way. If you look at my profile on the system – I’m 24, two children under the age of three, on Income Support, claim benefits, in a council flat, not back to work yet – you’d immediately have a picture, when in actual fact it’s not like that. I do consider myself quite articulate. I am very intelligent. I have worked all my life. I’ve paid my taxes, paid my national insurance, you know. I used to clear 1400, 1500 quid per month. If I didn’t have the weekly help from places like this food bank, I don’t know what I would do. I don’t. I don’t know. I honestly don’t know.”
