Hunger Free Future

The Trussell Trust is campaigning to end hunger and destitution in the UK. And they need your voice, your support, and your agreement that everyone should be able to afford the essentials in life, like food. Every nine seconds, a person in crisis could need a food parcel this winter. This can’t go on - and you can help to change it.

So join now and add your voice to our campaign to help create a Hunger-Free Future. If we act together, we can build a future where no one goes hungry and everyone has enough money for the basics. So please, add your name TODAY.

If you need more information about why your voice is needed - more than 1.2 million emergency food parcels were given to people struggling to afford essential this year, between April and September. Food banks in the UK saw a 47% increase in demand during the Covid crisis. More than 1.2 million emergency food parcels were given to people struggling to afford essentials by the 1,393 food banks in the Trussell Trust’s network. These figures, released by the Trussell Trust are only the tip of the iceberg because many people will have been helped by other community groups, the charity warns.

This is an increase from 843,655 parcels handed out during the same period of 2019, when there were 1,486 food banks operating across the UK. These latest figures include 470,854 emergency food parcels provided for children - up from 309,090 last year, and the equivalent of nearly 2,600 parcels every single day.
