Vince Ashton, who has multiple sclerosis, is struggling to keep a healthy diet as the cost of living continues to rise
Exhausted and in pain, Vince Ashton struggles as he makes the short walk from the bus stop to his local Tesco. It’s late but he’s hoping to find some yellow-stickered items – the only food he can afford to buy at the moment.
Those with MS are advised to eat fruit and veg daily and avoid processed foods. But dad-of-three Vince, who is struggling with the rising cost of living, can only afford to eat whatever he finds in the reduced section. His last shop included discounted turkey slices. Due to his disability and being out of work, Vince claims Personal Independence Payment, but says it’s barely enough to scrape buy. No longer able to afford healthy food, he’s seen a drastic decline in his physical and mental health.
Vince is now urging people to back an emergency campaign #BreakingPoint – calling on the UK government to step up and help people with MS get through the winter.
