Are you a journalist looking for case studies?

We've been compiling a database of people with lived experiences of food poverty and those working on the frontline of the cost of living crisis who are willing to speak with journalists in order to highlight the plight of those on low-incomes. 

This includes case studies of people living and working in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
