A British Muslim charity says requests for crisis grants are at unprecedented levels.
"People are running out of borrowing options," adds Dr Hanif. "They can no longer turn to family members. Ill health is very common. One bout of sickness can send the family below the poverty line, struggling to pay their bills.
Nine mothers, all Muslim, gathered to get advice and support on how to deal with rising prices. One, a mum-of-seven, said her family all slept in two bedrooms as the other two rooms in her home were too cold to use. Rising rents meant she couldn't afford to move. "Life is not easy now," she says, as her youngest child, two-year-old Ali, plays in another room. "My children don't understand - when they feel cold they just put the heating on. They ask 'can you buy this, can you buy that' and I often say I will buy it tomorrow and hope they forget."
The mosque started distributing food due to Covid 19 and planned to stop the service last year but soaring inflation has meant it is busier than ever.
