More children than ever are relying on foodbank parcels to save them from hunger as more than 1,000,000 were distributed in a record-breaking year.
The number of food parcels handed out by the Trussell Trust has soared in the last five years, doubling to more than 3.1million in the year ending March 2024.
Over a third of those distributed by local foodbanks went to children.
