2. Local community support for families struggling financially, include food larders and community shops. We understand that some people are comfortable accessing this support while others are not. Is there anything more we could do to reduce the stigma for families when they need to access this support?

      We need to normalise it especially for older people where they are proud and dont like to admit to needing help

                  food larders can be exclusive to post codes and some areas such as Redburn dont have access to any local or support to get there
