More and more people are turning to foodbanks during the coronavirus pandemic s third lockdown, a charity has said.
In Great Yarmouth the Salvation Army is preparing 130 food parcels a week - some for whole families - and fears it will only get worse when the furlough scheme ends and a rash of people will likely lose their jobs.
Captain Marie Burr said that since she joined the Yarmouth team in July she had seen an uptake in the numbers of people needing to use a foodbank.
