Trussell Trust – access to local emergency food banks

The Trussell Trust supports a network of local food banks that provide free emergency food parcels and essential items to people in crisis. Food banks are intended for people facing immediate need; most require a referral from a frontline worker (GP, social worker, school, benefits adviser) but some centres can advise on how to get help. Use the Trussell Trust website to locate your nearest food bank, check opening times and find guidance on eligibility and referral routes.
