MP Laura Smith’s constituency office has become an official Referral Unit for Nantwich Foodbank.
The charity fears more residents will have to be referred to the Foodbank ahead of plans for the next stage of Universal Credit.
Trussell Trust Foodbanks gave out three-day food packages 1,084,604 times in 2014-15.
But this staggering statistic is not one to be celebrated. Volunteers at Nantwich Foodbank would rather be out of a job.
Our reporter Sara Royle finds out more.
Nantwich Foodbank has fed more than 620 people in just six months – including nearly 300 children. The startling figures were revealed by organisers of the foodbank, run by the Trussell Trust.
Nantwich Foodbank has been offered further backing by South Cheshire housing provider Wulvern. The company has pledged another year’s support to the Trussell Trust Foodbank in Nantwich, as well as the St Paul’s Pantry one in Crewe.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
