At the same time IDS is refusing to meet with the Trussell Trust to discuss food poverty and the rise in their use because of HIS benefit reforms. He says that the TT are being too political! Of course they are, it’s as a result of his reforms package and political manoeuvring (on both sides of the House) that we have this horrendous situation. When he came to draw out some money, there was none in his ...

Amidst all the tales of doom and gloom that we hear on a daily basis at the food bank, occasionally we are the recipients of good news that reminds us why we do the job we do. Peter came into the food bank last week and greeted me like a long lost friend. I remembered the face, but as I told him I am lousy with names! I repeat his story here, not to boast of our success or to pat ourselves on the back b...

December was the eagerly awaited parliamentary debate on food banks. Unfortunately, I could not watch the debate as I was running a food bank and supporting those who because of government policy were undergoing a crisis and could not afford to feed themselves or their families. I am weary of hearing politicians describing food banks as a typical example of the big society, or c...

In my role as manager of the West Bromwich Food Bank I find that a large percentage of my time is taken up in listening. You may think it’s easy to listen, (it is) but do we always hear what we are listening to? Technology is great but it has caused damage to the listening process. My church began a food bank as a way of supporting people in our community who were in crisis. At the time of planning this we had on...
