Latest Stats
Twice a year we release stats about the number of emergency food supplies given to people in crisis by food banks in the Trussell Trust network.
The data that we gather from the frontline work of food banks (both the numbers of people receiving emergency food parcels and the reasons for visiting a food bank) helps us campaign for change to ensure everyone can afford their own food.
End of year stats
April 2020 – March 2021
Record 2.5 million emergency food parcels given to people in crisis in the past year as the Trussell Trust calls for governments at all levels across the UK to commit to developing a plan to end the need for food banks once and for all.
Mid year stats
