Perth Foodbank says March this year was its busiest month on record.
The 66 volunteers at Cutlog Vennel, Perth and at a sister centre in Blairgowrie fed 1171 people that month and the number of people provided with food in the financial year 22/23 was up by 2028 referrals – a rise of 30 per cent – to 8823 from the previous year, when there were 6795 people considered to be in need of food parcels.
Recently there has been a successful cross-over with Perth Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB).
