With the cost of living rapidly rising, more and more people are struggling to put food on the table.
Some families need to turn to foodbanks and other charities to help supply emergency food as they struggle to make ends meet. But those who've never used foodbanks before may not be aware of the criteria you need to meet to get a parcel.
Most, although not all, foodbanks require a referral, confirming that you're in need, before they'll supply any food. Some will provide food more regularly, while emergency foodbanks tend to only provide a limited number of parcels.
