The Trussell Trust provided nearly 3 million emergency food parcels across the UK 2024/25

On Wednesday, 21 May, Trussell Trust released their figures that food banks across the Trussell community collectively provided 2.9 million emergency food parcels to people experiencing hunger and hardship in the past year, with more than 1 million of these going to children.

That’s why we’re calling on the public to play their part and support us in any way possible, to help provide emergency food for people facing hardship.

Food banks offer hope, dignity, and relief to people facing hardship. Many food banks need vital funds to ensure they can continue to provide services beyond distributing emergency food, such as advice and support that unlocks money and services someone should be getting, as well as debt management advice, and other services aimed at helping people out of financial hardship.

Your generous support makes a huge difference. You can help make sure we can continue to provide warm, compassionate, practical support and advice in the year ahead by donating food or funds. As we navigate meeting the need for our services, we would be incredibly grateful if you could please consider:

• Donating the food & toiletries
• Making a financial donation
• Join us by volunteering

Thank you for standing together with us. We recognise how challenging things are right now, which is why we are so grateful for your support. Together, we will be there for people who have been left without enough money to live on.
