About
The Food Bank Network
Trussell supports community and church run Food Banks across the UK.
Our Food Bank is part of Trussell’s network of 428 Food Bank, working to tackle food poverty and hunger in our local communities, as well as across the UK.
The Food Bank Network was founded in 2004 after four years of developing the original Food Bank based in Salisbury. Since then Trussell has helped communities work together to launch Food Bank nationwide in a wide range of towns and cities.
In 2023/24, food banks in the Trussell s network provided 3,121,404 three-day emergency food supplies and support to UK people in crisis. Of these, 1,144,096 were distributed for children.
As a network, we want to see more people helped out of crisis and fewer people needing Food Banks in the future. That’s why Trussell and local Food Bank are working together to develop new ways to help people out of crisis through programmes like More Than Food.
