Increasing rent and utility bills mean a rising number of young people are battling to make ends meet, despite income support payments and part-time work.

Fourth year arts student Louise Stockton said government allowances for students were not enough, and casual work did not cover the gap.

"I rely a lot on getting food to eat from my work and also dumpster diving," she said.

"That involves going out at odd hours and being as safe as you possibly can and trying to avoid shopkeepers.

"But it means getting essentials like bread, sometimes milk and fruit, vegetables, and it is often hard to afford those things on a weekly basis."
