Research & publications

See our latest publications, including reports, policy briefings, press releases and evaluations.

Our policy asks and campaigning are rooted in evidence from food banks in our community, and the people who use them.

We use our evidence to campaign for change so that in the future no one needs to use a food bank to survive. See more about our work to change policy.
