Kettle boxes, queues outside the door and eating cold beans - crisis at food banks as demand reaches record high
26.04.2023 - 19:53 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The number of emergency food parcels handed out to hungry families across Greater Manchester has almost doubled in the last five years.
The Trussell Trust distributed 138,347 aid packages in our region in the year to March. That compares to the 70,831 between April 2017 and March 2018 - a 95 per cent increase. The figures include all boroughs but Bury, as the charity has no foodbank there.
As the cost of living crisis bites, bosses at the charity say an increasing number of people are being left with no option but to turn to charity to get by. And the most recent figures also show the level of need was greater than during the first year of the pandemic.

Help from the Government in the form of the Cost of Living Payments did result in a temporary dip in need for food banks, the charity said, but the organisation criticised the short-term nature of support.
The charity’s senior research manager Emma Newbury says respite provided by cost of living payments has been ‘short-lived’ and shows that ‘one-off payments are unable to make lasting difference when people’s regular income from social security and work is just too low for them to be able to afford the essentials’.
