We know we'll need to continue supporting significant numbers of people who are going without the essentials -
single parents, people who've suddenly lost their job, families dealing with relationship breakdowns, those facing benefit delays, people with health conditions that affect work, and families hit by unexpected costs.
And we want to make sure the food bank can be there for everyone who needs us, offering a warm welcome, a warm meal, and emergency food alongside tailored support and advice on things that matter to them.
Whether it's employability opportunities, benefits advice, debt management, housing help, mental health support, childcare information, energy bill advice, GP registration, support within the locality that can help create longer-term change.
Our goal is to make it less likely people will need a food bank again.
Working together with partners has also helped to share information that could genuinely help end hunger.
Sometimes it's over bread and bacon. Sometimes it's during a warm meal. But these conversations matter.
We know that food banks can't solve hunger and hardship alone. To drive real change across society, we're collaborating across the communities.
We believe that ending hunger together means working with others and sharing information that opens doors.
