As the UK is hit hard by a severe cost of living crisis, some are questioning the money spent on the coronation of King Charles III.

The first time Angela Davis went to a food bank was mortifying. The single mother of five – with three kids still living at home – had realized that after paying her bills, she simply had no money left to buy food. “It felt degrading. I was a bit down about it,” she told CNN over a cup of tea and biscuit served at the community cafe at St. John the Evangelist Church in Doncaster.

“It’s worse than it’s ever been,” said Kelly Widdowson, the manager at Helping Hands Community Centre in Edlington on the outskirts of the city. Like the food bank at St. John the Evangelist, this community center has seen an influx of new clients who are struggling to make ends meet despite working full time. The center provides low-cost meals and food parcels, financial advice, after-school programs and a range of other services.
