In the financial year to April 2023, Trussell Trust, the largest (but not the only) network of food banks in the UK, distributed emergency food parcels to nearly three million people.

Key Points: 
  • In the financial year to April 2023, Trussell Trust, the largest (but not the only) network of food banks in the UK, distributed emergency food parcels to nearly three million people.
  • Food banks provide free, pre-prepared parcels of food to those most in need.
  • Community markets selling food and household items at subsidised rates to all could be a sustainable solution to the problems with existing food support programmes.
  • Hence, food banks offer temporary relief from hunger without addressing the bigger issues that lead to food insecurity.

Community markets

    • Through these discussions, we assessed how well community markets address the challenges of food security, and found that they are a possible solution to the limitations of food banks and parcel distribution.
    • Community markets do not solely rely on donations from the public or businesses.
    • People with low incomes who shop at community markets told us they enjoyed having food at affordable food prices and felt a stronger sense of autonomy, and being part of the community.

Food for all

    • They use revenue generated from selling products at subsidised rates to subscribe to charitable food surplus redistribution organisations.
    • They can also be environmentally sustainable, actively reducing food waste and their carbon footprint by redistributing surplus food to local emergency services and farms.
    • As more people rely on food aid, it’s important that local councils and national governments support alternatives to food banks.
