What is a Food Bank?

  • Food banks are community organisations that can help if you can’t afford the food you need.
  • You’ll usually need to get a referral to a food bank before you can use it. This includes all food banks run by the Trussell Trust.  
  • You can get a referral for yourself and any family members you live with - including your partner.
  • You might be able to use some food banks without a referral - for example, if it’s run by a church. Contact your local food bank to see if you need a referral.


Please Note: 

  • Every effort has been made to ensure that the above information is up to date and active at the time of promotion.  
  • To manage your expectations we would strongly urge you to make contact with these organisations before you visit to avoid any potential disappointment.
