I’m meeting Emma Revie, the CEO of the Trussell Trust, the network that supports more than 1,200 food bank centres around the UK, including this one. Food banks in the Trussell Trust network distributed 2.5m food parcels in the year to April 2021 – a third more than in the previous year. Not a single one of their guests – they call the people who use the food bank guests – had a yacht that needed varnishing. She first used the food bank a month or so ago – pride prevented her coming earlier. Earlier, Revie had talked about the importance of learning from the people who came to the food banks.
