A record number of emergency food parcels were handed out in London in the past year, statistics from the Trussell Trust show... More than 454,000 were distributed by food banks in the trust's London network between April last year and March this year... It is a 171 per cent increase compared with five years ago.
We are consistently seeing unprecedented levels of need. Over the last 12 months, we've distributed 4,273 food parcels to local households who need our support, with 34 per cent being families with children... Many of the people we support are grappling with financial debt and the escalating cost of living, as well as dealing with physical or mental health conditions.
