One in six people face hunger across Northern Ireland, with women, disabled people, carers and parents, among the groups disproportionately at risk, landmark new research has found.
Hunger in Northern Ireland, published today by the Trussell Trust, reveals that, in mid-2022, 16% of the population here faced hunger in the last year because they didn’t have enough money.
This equates to around 354,000 people, around the population of Belfast and the surrounding district.
