A charity that helps fight homelessness in Suffolk is hosting affordable summer BBQs as the number of people struggling with the cost-of-living crisis goes up.

Emmaus Suffolk is holding Super Saturday BBQs at the Royal Oak in Ipswich on Saturdays in August.

The last event that took place on August 13 gathered many families who together enjoyed the hot weather and delicious food.
