Help end hunger this winter
No one should be forced into impossible decisions.
But too many people still are.
People across the UK are facing impossible decisions right now, like whether to buy food or pay the heating bill.
When someone turns to a food bank in the Trussell community, it’s because they’ve run out of options. Exhausted and isolated, they don’t have enough money to live on. With your help we can offer an emergency food parcel. A listening ear. Vital advice and support. And hope for the future.
Please donate today – your gift can be the lifeline someone needs to get through this winter.

Your support could be a lifeline for people facing hunger
You can help people like Chris*, who had to give up work after years of struggling with worsening physical pain. When he was unable to work, he was deemed ineligible for Universal Credit, leaving him without enough money to live on. He had no option but to turn to a food bank.
The food bank gave Chris emergency food, a warm welcome and practical support when he needed it most. He now shares his experience to help others feel less alone, and to push for changes that mean fewer people will need a food bank in the future.
The food bank meant I could prioritise other essentials. Heating when the weather turned cold, travel to medical appointments, and keeping the phone on so I could chase support...It wasn't just food. It was breathing space and the chance to get my life back on track.
Together, we can end hunger for good. Your support could help us build a future free from hunger and poverty. One that ensures everyone can afford the essentials and no one needs to use a food bank again.
