foodbanks

An increase in demand for emergency food for children drove increased foodbank need during the summer holidays last year, Trussell Trust reveals.

Charities say Government has not done enough to protect and support ‘vulnerable claimants’ including disabled people and people with health conditions.

Bishop says the state itself is driving its own citizens into poverty and leaving foodbanks to pick up the pieces.

Increasing numbers of destitute people are turning to food banks and other voluntary agencies for help, according to a new report.
