Complaining about your local food bank

Complaints about a local food bank should be raised with the food bank directly, as all food banks in the Trussell community are independent charities which are regulated separately.

Please be aware that local food banks may have different response times. You can find out the expected response times by requesting a copy of their complaints policy when contacting them.

If you are unable to contact your local food bank directly we may be able to help. Please provide details using the form below.
