A UK council has become the first to declare a cost of living emergency as foodbank usage surges.
Eastbourne foodbank has this year distributed more parcels per head than any other as the cost of living crisis deepens, the Trussell Trust network says.
The foodbank, a lifeline for some families now struggling more so than ever, handed out 17,440 emergency food parcels per 100,000 people last year, the charity added.
