A food bank in Arnold is calling for more help to meet increasingly high demands for its services this winter. It comes after Arnold Foodbank in Daybrook Baptist Church provided emergency food for 650 people in October and the number of people in need is expected to rise ahead of Christmas.
Alan Maxwell, a trustee at Arnold Foodbank said: "We should not need food banks and we do not see it getting any better in the next year."
He added: "We are getting a lot more families. Traditionally, food banks were for people who were single and did not have any family support networks. Now we are supporting people from Daybrook, Bestwood and Sherwood. It is changing for us, we are finding families with children are struggling."
