Your support makes a difference

Last winter, mum-of-four Nikki* was one of 225,000 people in the UK who turned to a food bank for the first time.

Nikki received emergency food and support that meant she could provide for her family. It was a huge weight off her shoulders.

As food banks are stretched to breaking point this winter, your support could also help us push for long-term change.

Together, we can create a more just society where everyone can afford the essentials and no one needs to use a food bank.
