About the Foodbank Network
Trussell supports communities and churches to open foodbanks across the UK.
Our foodbank is part of Trussell’s network of food banks, 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 food bank based in Salisbury. Since then Trussell has helped communities work together to launch food banks nationwide in a wide range of towns and cities.
Last year, our community of food banks distributed 3.1 million emergency food parcels – the most ever in a single year.
As a network, we want to see more people helped out of crisis and fewer people needing food banks in the future. Visit Trussell to find out more
