Summary
A single dad, Matthew, is bracing for a brutal summer as rising costs and slashed support force him to rely on a community larder three times a week — sometimes even skipping meals himself. With holiday food vouchers gone and donations to food banks hitting record lows, local hubs like the Millbrook Hub face an uncertain future. Larger charities, including the Trussell Trust, are now buying more of their own stock — a first — as public giving dwindles. Somerset Council says help still exists through a new Crisis and Resilience Fund, but for families like Matthew’s, this summer is a stark reminder of how many are struggling just to feed their kids.
