Trussell
Our foodbanks are part of Trussell’s network, which supports over 1,200 foodbanks, working to tackle food poverty and hunger in our local communities, as well as across the UK.
The Foodbank Network was founded in 2004 after four years of developing the original foodbank based in Salisbury. Since then Trussell has
helped communities work together to launch foodbanks nationwide in a wide range of towns and cities.
Between April 2023 and March 2024, Trussell’s Foodbank Network provided 3.1 million three-day emergency food supplies and support to UK people in crisis. Of these, 1.1 million went to children.
As a network, we want to see more people helped out of crisis and fewer people needing foodbanks in the future. That’s why The Trussell Trust and local foodbanks are working together to develop new ways to help people out of crisis through programmes like More Than Food.
