“As a middle-aged man who’s always worked, it was a real shock and very distressing to suddenly be out of work. I didn’t know how the foodbank worked, but the team gave me an emergency parcel that day and explained how I could get more help. I’ll be forever grateful.”

❗ Millions are already facing hunger and hardship.
Rising food prices will only add more pressure to families who are struggling to put food on the table.
This isn't right. Everyone should be able to afford the essentials they need to survive and live with dignity 💚

Sometimes, the most heartfelt acts of kindness come out of the blue. Two Cadent engineers who were working on site heard about our foodbank, then came back the next day with 151.8kg of food, bought with £400 raised by colleagues. Thank you, Cadent! 💛
