evidence: A food bank manager in Co Fermanagh has spoken of a deep sense of financial worry from local residents in the lead up to Christmas, as the organisation faces into its busiest ever period. John Shades from the Enniskillen Food Bank has said the group has been "absolutely inundated" in recent weeks as rising living costs take their toll on people in the area. The food bank gave away more than 15 tonnes of food last December but John told MyFermanagh that figure could be eclipsed this year as people’s outlook for their short term finances has grown gloomier than ever.
