I’m not being funny but… The Trussell Trust counted 35 food banks in this country in 2010. In 2019 there were more than 1,300, and there’s probably far more now. We’ve become a nation of food banks and it’s not something to be proud of. We should be proud of the people who keep the food banks going, of course. The people who work tirelessly to ensure families have food to put on the table. But we’re not supposed to have so many and I bet you any of the people who contribute to keeping these food banks going will say the same thing.
