West Lothian food security and employability charity, The Larder, has responded to the shocking statistics released by The Food Foundation that one in seven people in the UK are food insecure.
The Larder, who have recently been shortlisted for ‘Charity of the Year’ in the Scottish Charity Awards for their work in West Lothian, called the statistics a ‘damning indictment of our society’.
The Food Foundation found that more than two million adults in the UK can’t afford to eat everyday, with one in seven adults estimated to be food-insecure, up 57% from January due to the rising cost of living in Britain.
