Absolutely weird

In 2010, there were 35 food banks in the UK, all operated by the Trussell Trust: 

  • Number of food banks: The number of food banks in the UK increased rapidly in the 2010s. 
  • Food parcels distributed: In 2010/11, the Trussell Trust distributed 61,000 food parcels. 
  • Growth of food banks: By 2022, the total number of food banks in the UK had grown to 2,600. 
  • Growth of food parcels distributed: In 2022-2023, the Trussell Trust distributed nearly three million food parcels, a 4,900% increase from 2010/11. 

The Trussell Trust opened its first UK food bank in 2000 and operates over half of the food banks in the country.

In 2023/24, over 3.12 million people used a food bank in the UK. The Trussell Trust distributed emergency food parcels to people across the UK, including:

  • Northern Ireland: Over 90,300 emergency food parcels
  • Scotland: 262,400 emergency food parcels
  • Wales: 187,458 emergency food parcel

Proud?

I wonder if the unpleasant old grifter took along a contribution to the foodbanks he opened, unlike his grifting son and daughter in law who turned up empty handed.
