Exactly, I had two small children, but took a temporary Christmas job to get extra money for Christmas.
Once the Christmas was over the job finished, I was then called back as a temp for easter.
Finished again then called back for following Christmas again , at the end of the second Christmas as was taken on permanently but only doing one night a week filling up stock.
In turn as time went on I got more hours then went part time.
This then lead on to another partime job then another then another and so on.
Then when kids where in their 20,s it progressed to full time work.
Definitely easy when starting at the bottom to work yourself up to more hours or a job that pays good when already in a job.

So theyve ignored the food vouchers question altogether , and they seem to be just putting off telling you about numbers for L W A by making you confirm you really want to know !!

Yup. I have sent an amended one in in. The Foodbank FOI was seperate- no reply from that one yet.
They have been playing the evasive game regarding computer usage in libraries too. Said they do not have the information when we KNOW they do. Just wasting council money playing silly buggers......

Response: On average in 2014/15 there were 52 successful applications for food per week
On average in 2014/15 there were 69 successful applications for fuel per week

Any other information=How many Foodbank vouchers are handed out at Wirral One Stop Shops, on average, each week in the financial year 2014-2015.
