Almost a quarter of families with three children experience food insecurity
ALMOST a quarter of families with three children experienced food insecurity last month, as research published today revealed the impact of the two-child benefit cap.
The Food Foundation said its survey of more than 6,000 adults shows action is desperately needed to relieve the pressure on families across Britain who are going hungry.
It found that 14 per cent of households have experienced food insecurity, having to reduce or skip meals because they could not afford food.
