The cost of living crisis has been affecting small businesses and many are facing the prospect of closing their doors or reducing their hours as we head towards Winter.

Village Greens Community Co-op in Prestwich has reduced their staff numbers and seen a fall in the number of items customers are able to afford as a result of rising bills and prices.
