Hunger in the UK report

With record numbers of people across the country already forced to turn to food banks, the Trussell Trust’s Hunger in the UK reports starkly reveal this is just the tip of the iceberg, with millions more struggling with hunger, but not yet reaching out for charity support.

The report highlights that:

• 14% of all UK adults (or their households) have experienced food insecurity in the 12 months to mid-2022, equating to an estimated 11.3 million people.

• 7% of UK households accessed support from an ecosystem of food aid across the UK, such as receiving support from a food bank or accessing low-cost food aid from a social supermarket. This means an estimated 5.7 million people were supported by food aid in the UK.
