To return to foodbanks, one of the most upsetting aspects of this operation are the food parcels that are ready to eat straight away. Why, you might ask, is this upsetting or even necessary? It’s because some people do not have access to cooking facilities, or are unable to afford to turn the electric or gas on to cook the food. How many pensioners will be facing this problem this winter due exorbitant fuel costs that are set to increase yet again this year? We should do better than this. We can do better than this. We must do better than this. Diolch yn fawr.
