We feel so passionate about supporting Foodbanks at this time.

On May 1st 2020, The Trussell Trust reports its network’s busiest ever period, with 81% more emergency food parcels being given out across the UK, including 122% more parcels going to children, compared to the same period in 2019.³  The data shows people struggling with the amount of income they were receiving from working or benefits as the main reason for the increase in need.

IFAN has also reported a record level of need with an average 59% increase from February to March 2020. That is 17 times higher than this time last year.

Food banks are working to continue providing emergency food safely to people who cannot afford to buy the essentials, despite this unparalleled surge in demand – but warn they cannot continue to pick up the pieces.

Last year, food banks in our network provided more than 1.6 million emergency food parcels to people in crisis. More than half a million of these went to children. It’s not right that people can’t afford the basics. With your help, we can help end the need for food banks.As a nation, we expect no one should be left hungry or destitute. Illness, disability, family breakdown or the loss of a job can happen to any of us. With your help #ThisCanChange

Let's use our movement to help those most in need! Together we can do this.
