As inflation figures soar, independent food banks are running out of options and say urgent action must be taken to increase people’s incomes. Read our November 2022 survey press release here.
94%
of organisations reported increased need for their services following the cut to Universal Credit in October 2021 while 92% of this group saw yet further increases from August to October 2022.
Over 90%
of organisations reported helping both people who had not previously accessed support as well as people needing regular food supplies.
75%
