'Cost of using oven' drives food bank cereal demand
Parents are feeding their children more cereal to save on fuel bills, Nikki Morrison says
A food bank says users' wariness over cooking amid rising energy bills has prompted demand for more ready-to-eat items. Nikki Morrison, who runs Hadley Learning Community Food Hub in Telford, said she was initially puzzled by requests for breakfast cereal and milk. But she said she realised the issue when a parent told her: "I have to think about having my oven on."Ms Morrison said: "It just makes me really sad to think that these are decisions that people are having to make."The hub was created at Hadley Learning Community School last year to help pupils and their families.
Ms Morrison explained the hub had adapted to offer more ready-to-eat foodstuffs "because if that's what they're going to eat and if that's what they need to eat then we will try to facilitate that".
