During the recent parliamentary recess, Jeff Smith MP caught up with both Withington and Didsbury Food Banks to talk to their teams about the important work they are doing to support our community.
Over 90% of the food distributed by food banks in The Trussell Trust network is donated by the public. As demand for food parcels rises, donations remain essential to ensuring these food banks can keep supporting those who need it most.
