My Story
This September I'm taking part in Step Up September and I will be walking to help end the need for food banks in the UK.
Why is it so important to Step Up this September for the Trussell Trust?
No one should be faced with the indignity of needing emergency food. Yet food banks in the Trussell Trust's network gave out 936,000 emergency food parcels between 1 April and 30 September. More than 356,000 of them went to children.
In one of the wards in the Portsmouth South constituency, more than 50% of children live in poverty. The cost of living crisis will only make it worse.
No one should have to suffer the indignity of relying on emergency food and the Trussell Trust knows that together, we can build a hunger free future where everyone can afford the essentials.
