The Trussel Trust Foodbanks

We’re an anti-poverty charity and community of food banks. We work together to ensure no one in the UK needs a food bank to survive, while providing food and practical support to people left without enough money to live on. 

We also offer access a range of advice and support, including helplines and guidance on social security payments and grants that may be available to you.

How to access:

If you need help, a food bank can provide an emergency food parcel containing at least three days of meals.

In order to get help from a food bank you'll need to be referred for a food voucher. The voucher is then exchanged at the food bank for a food parcel. 

You can get a food voucher from a number of local community organisations, who can ensure you get the right support.

Our friendly advisers can help you get the support you need if you’re struggling to afford essentials like food, heating and toiletries. We can advise which social security payments you’re entitled to, guide you through any claims, and help you with emergency issues.
