The foodbank Network Conference held in Salisbury on 28th May 2010 attracted 190 delegates from across the UK! People came from as far away as Scotland, Cornwall, Wales and London to celebrate success, share stories and work out how to make foodbanks even better. We shared that we now have over 60 foodbank projects launched across the UK and 41,000 people received help from UK foodbanks last year. 25 new projects were launched in direct response to the recession.
