Admin of Facebook page says people struggling with cost of living
The administrator of a local Facebook page set up to help Mums & Dads in need says there's been a significant rise in traffic to the site in recent times.
The helping Mums & Dads page was established over four years ago as an online community through which members can help families in need by donating items, some of which they they no longer need.
Administrator, Lisa Pettifer, says they are seeing more harrowing cases of people in difficulty during the current the financial crisis.
