The cost-of-living crisis has hit so many families and individuals who were already struggling.

The Big Christmas Food Appeal aims to highlight the help that is available and tackle some of the stigma attached to food poverty - while raising vital funds to help people get through this winter.

We know how generous our readers and listeners are, and every penny really does make a difference.

Please give whatever you can afford to help the incredible work of CFINE and its partners across Grampian and the Highlands and Islands.
