A food bank was the last place Matty imagined he'd be at Christmas

Matty*, a devoted husband and father, became a full-time carer for his wife after she suffered a heart attack. With rising food and energy costs, Matty had no choice but to turn to the food bank for help - the last place he imagined he'd be at Christmas. 

Thanks to kind supporters like you, Matty received emergency food, along with advice and support to help him through this difficult time. He was able to give his family a Christmas he never thought possible.

Please donate today to help more people like Matty this Christmas. Your gift offers more than just food - it brings hope, dignity and relief to people facing hunger and hardship. Together, we can make a real difference.

Christmas should be a special time when people feel loved and included, not something they dread because they haven’t got any money. Anything you can give will make a huge difference, not just to us at the food bank, but by helping us connect people to other vital support.

This Christmas, food banks need your support 

Winter is often the busiest time for food banks in the Trussell community. Last winter, 600,000 food parcels were distributed to people facing hunger and poverty. We expect this year to be just as challenging as more people struggle to afford even the essentials at this expensive time of year. 

Please donate today to help provide urgent support this winter. Your gift offers more than just food - it brings hope, dignity and relief to people in financial hardship.

Together, we can end hunger for good 

Please don’t wait. Together, we can end hunger for good. Your support could help us build a future free from hunger and poverty. One that ensures everyone can afford the essentials and that no one needs to use a food bank again. Thank you.
