FIGURES published earlier this month by the Trussell Trust showed the steepest increase in people needing foodbanks in the past five years.
Then this week the Trussell Trust followed this news up by saying that they expected foodbank demand this Christmas to be even higher than last year, when it provided 186,185 three-day emergency food parcels by its network to people in crisis, with almost 80,000 of those going to children.
A big factor in the increased use of foodbanks is thought to be punitive Conservative policies, like the five-week wait in universal credit, which are pushing people to the point of destitution.
