On a more positive note I've been fortunate enough to stumble across humans grocery Manchester.

This is for low income families I think. Each week they invoice me for 12.75 and allocate me 34 points based on 4 people. They send me a sheet of all the food products they have available that week.

One week for example they had whole chickens for 8 points and I ordered 3 along with a couple of other bits.

When they deliver they give you a massive bag of free seasonal fruit and veg too. The price is including delivery.

Since using this resource I haven't had to use food banks at all. It's made me cook from scratch alot more, which is hard sometimes but rewarding and I have eaten healthier.

I've found the healthier we eat the better our overall mood and mental health. Along with getting outdoors and moving our feet.

But I no longer feel useless as a parent relying on constant handouts to feed my kids. This resource has been a godsend in giving me back some self worth x
