Foodbanks around the United Kingdom are bracing for what they fear will be one of their busiest winters. Soaring gas prices and cuts to Universal Credit will make it difficult for many families and individuals to ends meet. Foodbank use increased 60% during the winter of 2020/2021. Linked below are 3 ways in which you can support local foodbanks thie winter. Most foodbanks are run with support from The Trussell Trust, donating to the charity is a quick and easy way to support. The Bankthe Food App is designed to alert you as you enter your local supermarket with a list of your local foodbank's most urgently needed items to buy and leave in donation boxes. And lastly, if you have the free time to do so, regularly volunteering can make a massive contribution to your community.
