The Trussell Trust charity expects food poverty to worsen in the UK as the cost of living crisis deepens.
The Trussell Trust gave out some 1.9 million food parcels in 2019-2020, to an estimated 370,000 households.
The majority of people who use food banks have benefits as their only income, but a significant minority - historically about 14% - are in work. He says "it is not an extremely good feeling" to have to use food banks, and he feels "slightly apprehensive and anxious" about the cost of living crisis getting worse.
They also said it had given many workers on Universal Credit a tax cut, lifted the minimum wage and provided extra funds to councils to help the hardest hit.However, Ms Revie says the charity has been "disappointed" in the government's actions. In particular she criticises a decision to reverse a £20 a week uplift for all Universal Credit claimants last year.
