Our latest report** reveals that one in six UK households experience hunger. 

A quarter of children are growing up without enough food at home. Right now, people in your community are wondering where their next meal will come from.

I remember looking at my budget and thinking, right, let’s not eat this week. Let’s just drink water. I know I can survive a few days without food.
