The woman was heating up pet food so she could have something warm to eat over Christmas and has turned to a community hub for a warm place to sit with a free hot drink
A struggling woman who cannot afford a hot meal this Christmas has been forced to live off cat food instead.
Chelmsley Wood parish councillor Michael Connolly spoke of his shock during that meeting, reports Birmingham Live. Cllr Connolly said: "One person who lives local to here was heating cat food. People can't afford to have the heating on all day. They can't afford to eat hot food every day." The hub, where the community often meets, offers a warm environment with free hot drinks and a warm lunch for over 60. It also provides entertainment in the form of music, crafts and games.
"There's not a great deal on offer around the area. When we started this we had 13 people the other week. Then we had 52 and it's been going for five weeks. They love it. It's all about having fun. They decide what they want to do. We just go with the flow."
