What can people struggling through today's cost of living crisis learn from those who lived through previous hard times?

Holly, in Gateshead, has been struggling to keep up with rising prices. She lives with her daughter Harley and boyfriend Kevin, and says that during the last few months, she has struggled to afford to put food on the table.

She says she feels terrified about the coming winter, and wonders how she will keep her daughter warm in the colder months.

She's meeting Scott, who left school and started work in the 1980s, a time of mass unemployment. He lived hand to mouth for years, taking home wages from odd jobs that barely covered his bills. He knows what it's like to be on the breadline - so by sharing his experiences, can he help Holly navigate today's cost of living crisis?
