gf, "Food banks are for working people who cannot make ends meet" - according to what research?..........................
WHO DO FOODBANKS HELP?
Many foodbank clients are low income families hit by a crisis that is not their fault such as redundancy,
reduced working hours or something as seemingly small as an unexpected bill. Others are victims of
domestic violence, people experiencing benefit delay or facing debt problems or those hit by illness.
Often foodbank clients face decisions between eating and paying the rent. Some are
so desperate that they consider stealing to feed their children. A recent report by
Netmums found that 1 in every 5 mums regularly skip meals to feed their children.
Foodbanks meet mothers in this situation every day.
Less than five per cent of foodbank clients are homeless, many are working families.
Typically, one third of foodbank recipients are children..............ends
