'It is like permanent crisis' More than a decade of Tory rule has seen food bank use across the UK hit record highs
In 2010, the number of emergency food parcels distributed by the network was just over 40,000 across the UK.
“I know we have one particular lady who is working full-time but she is struggling just at the end of the month, so she comes to get some food parcels from us.” “Over the last 35 years, the normalisation of food banking in the US and Canada has failed to solve entrenched food insecurity,” it warned. “If you look back over the last five years, it is a 50% increase in parcels – so there has been a steady increase over this last period.
“There are at least as many independent food banks as there are in The Trussell Trust network, so the provision of charitable food aid is enormous. Jones said: “That is some really clear action for the UK Government and we think if that was brought in, nine million families across the UK would benefit from that and we would see a massive reduction in the number of people coming to food banks.
