Wokingham Foodbank works in partnership with Trussell Trust to offer critical emergency support to households across the borough, distributing over 5000 food parcels last year. Trussell Trust extended this impact nationwide, distributing more than 3.1 million parcels across UK food banks. These numbers highlight a stark reality, our current social security system falls short of meeting basic living standards. A fairer system is urgently needed to ensure that everyone has enough to live on, reducing the reliance on emergency food aid.
