Story

We got the band back together!

To celebrate and shine a light on the brilliant work of The Trussell Trust, we got the original West End cast of Sunny Afternoon back "together" to record a lockdown song for you. We hope it at least brings a little joy and at most raises a huge amount of awareness and dosh for The Trussell Trust, whose amazing work with food banks up and down the country and their campaign to Stop UK Hunger, will be needed more than ever over the coming months.

More and more people are being forced to use food banks because they cannot afford the basics in life. Last year, food banks in the Trussell Trust's network provided 1.6 million three-day emergency food parcels to people in crisis, with over 500,000 of these going to children. This was an increase of almost 20% on the previous year. 

Now, as the Coronavirus pandemic develops, it's likely that increasing numbers of people will need support from their local food bank. As food bank staff and volunteers work to source and distribute food to people who need support, their resources are becoming increasingly stretched as they come under additional pressure. We're working closely with our network of over 1,200 food banks to work out how we can best support each food bank in the coming months to make sure that they're able to continue to help people in crisis in their local communities.
