For many people in Essex, financial hardship means Christmas can be a difficult time of the year and Essex foodbanks are needed more than ever. Â鶹Éç Essex speaks to Andy Thornton, CEO at Michael Roberts Charitable Trust which runs Harlow Foodbank, and Cass Francis, Media & Campaigns Coordinator at Southend Foodbank.
