There's still time to turn hunger into hope this winter...

Your gift today can help people like Tony* find a hopeful future.

Tony worked as a doorman for 27 years. But after losing his partner, his mental health deteriorated, leaving him unable to work and isolated from his family. With his Universal Credit payments barely covering the essentials, Tony faced the harsh reality of going without food.

Thanks to generous supporters like you, Tony’s local food bank welcomed him with emergency food, practical advice, and the hope he desperately needed for a brighter future.

Please donate today to help more people like Tony find hope this winter and beyond. Your generosity does more than just provide food — it brings life-changing support to people facing hunger and hardship. Together, we can make a real difference.

The first time I used a food bank, I felt like less of a man – like I shouldn’t be there. But that feeling quickly went and I thought: 'what a brilliant place'. It gave me hope.

Your gift today could transform lives

When you give today, you’ll provide so much more than food. You’re offering dignity, hope, and practical support to people facing hunger.

£48

£218

£766

This winter, food banks need your support

Winter is often the busiest time for food banks in the Trussell community. Last winter, 600,000 food parcels were distributed to people facing hunger and poverty. We expect this year to be just as challenging as more people struggle to afford even the essentials at this expensive time of year.

Please donate today to help provide urgent support this winter. Your gift offers more than just food - it brings hope, dignity and relief to people in financial hardship.

Together, we can end hunger for good

Please don’t wait. Your support could help us build a future free from hunger and poverty. One that ensures everyone can afford the essentials and that no one needs to use a food bank again. Thank you.
