Almost 220,000 parcels were provided by food banks in the Trussell community alone to people in Scotland last year. That’s 600 food parcels every day – one parcel every two and a half minutes. This can and must change.
This Holyrood election, all candidates must respond to the unacceptably high levels of hunger and hardship and commit to a bolder plan to end the need for food banks in Scotland for good.
We must build a Scotland where everyone can afford the essentials, where every child has a decent start in life, and where charitable food provision is consigned to history.
