"The Trussell Trust provided us with a complete operations manual, plus the promise of support and training in the future. Having this level of support and expertise to draw from gave us Confidence. We were not left trying to discover how to establish a food bank, all the information we needed and the guidance on how to put all this together was incorporated in the operations manual.
We also felt that we had Clarity. When communicating the vision to the church, schools and other organisations we were able to speak about known facts rather than what we think might happen if we press the right buttons. This then gave us Credibility to approach statutory and voluntary organisations with a level of expertise that could only be gained by experience."
