Welcome to our food bank<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nA dedicated community resource committed to supporting those facing food insecurity. Our volunteers have over a decade of experience serving our local community, so we understand the growing challenges you may face securing basic essentials, and how you can struggle to put food on the table.<\/span><\/p>\nIn recent years the need for food assistance in England has surged dramatically – government statistics show a 60% increase in food bank use since 2019, with reports indicating a 25% increase over the past year alone. This reflects the widespread impact of rising living costs, delayed benefits, divorce, homelessness, debt and unexpected financial crises.<\/p>\n
