Food banks are bracing for their worst winter yet with more than 600,000 people expected to need support, a leading charity has warned.
The Trussell Trust, which runs a nationwide network of over 1,000 food banks, has predicted it will need to provide more than one million emergency food parcels this winter. It will be the most they’ve ever delivered during the winter months from December to February, with 904,000 distributed last year and is a third of the record near-3 million it handed out in the year to March.
