More than 10,000 people in crisis have turned to food banks
in Bolton for emergency support in just six

vouchers every month between December and the end of May — about 492 a week —
figures described by religious and political leaders as “deeply shocking”. And
families are said to be having to make a “daily choice between heating their
home, feeding their children and feeding themselves”. Read more on the Bolton
News website.
