More people are depending on food banks than ever before. In 2023/24 approximately 3 million people used a foodbank in the United Kingdom, as “ever-increasing” numbers of households – including pensioners, NHS staff and teachers – seek help amid the cost of living crisis.

More than ever, donations are needed to help.

Between April 2023 and March 2024, food banks in the Trussell Trust’s UK wide network distributed close to 3 million emergency food parcels to people facing hardship – this is an increase of 37% from the same period last year. More than one million of these parcels were distributed for children.

The Trussell Trust support a nationwide network of food banks providing emergency food and support to people locked in poverty with a long-term goal to remove the need for food banks in the UK.

How many people are using food banks in the UK?

As a result of the cost of living crisis, Brits’ reliance on food banks is increasing rapidly. More than 760,000 people turned to Trussell Trust food banks for the first time between April 2023 and March 2024. 

Over three million food parcels were given out during this 12 month period – more than ever before. More than a million of these parcels went to children. 

This represents just a fraction of the national picture. According to the Independent Food Aid Network, over 89 per cent of member organisations reported increased need for their services comparing December 2022 with December 2023.
