FOOD campaigners gave stark evidence to the Senedd’s equality and social justice committee today about the rising numbers of people in food poverty across Wales.

Cardiff-based charity FareShare Cymru said that the charities and community groups it works with reported common themes about the financial hardship caused by pre-payment meters.

Sarah Germain from FareShare told the committee that many people on pre-payment meters had not received help from the UK government’s energy support scheme.
