The Trussell Trust

The Trussell Trust runs a network of over 400 foodbanks, giving emergency food and support to people in crisis across the UK, where thirteen million people live below the poverty line.

They are there to help anyone who is facing hunger because of a crisis - for the parents skipping meals so their children can eat, for the tenant forced to go hungry just to pay the rent, for the elderly person making the stark choice between heating or eating.

Foodbanks provide three-days’ emergency food and practical support to help people cope in a crisis, as well as give advice and signpost to other services in the area to help people recover, rebuild their lives and break the cycle of poverty.

In 2015/16, Trussell Trust foodbanks gave 1,109,309 three-day emergency food supplies to people in crisis in the UK, with over 400,000 of those supplies having gone to children.
