Thirteen million people live below the poverty line in the UK, with individuals going hungry every day for a range of reasons, from benefit delays to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income.
Trussell partners with local communities to help stop UK hunger. Our 400-strong network of foodbanks provides a minimum of three days’ emergency food and support to people experiencing crisis in the UK.
We recognise that stopping hunger is about more than providing food, which is why we’re working with foodbanks to provide a range of new services like money advice and Fuel Banks, helping people to break the cycle of poverty.
Having started our work in Bulgaria, we also work with our international partner, FSCI, to tackle poverty in Eastern Europe.
