In this week’s The Orcadian

This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now in shops and is available online here.

On the front page, we report on the challenges facing individuals and families in the county who, despite being in work, are struggling to afford to eat.

These pressures have been brought into sharp focus following an appeal by the Orkney Foodbank to boost “dwindling supplies” such as toothpaste, tinned fruit, and washing powder.
