Demand for foodbanks 'triples'

Three times as many people received emergency supplies from Trussell Trust foodbanks in the three months from April this year compared with the same period last year, and the charity claimed the Government's welfare changes contributed to the surge in demand.

Some 152,154 people received three days' worth of emergency food between April 1 and June 30, up from 49,596 last year.
