Our impact report for 2024-2025 explores the challenges and successes of the last year – while celebrating the many positive changes we have brought about together.
Our latest impact report tells the story of our work over the last year, what we’ve all achieved together, and how your support has been instrumental in driving our mission forward.
This was a year of transition and momentum – where we began to shift the dial on deep-rooted drivers of hardship, and a new phase of our journey took shape.
Yet the need for support remained vast. Over 2.9 million emergency food parcels were distributed by our community of food banks – a stark reminder of the scale of hardship facing communities across the UK.
Moving forward for change
As the UK prepared for a general election, we stood alongside food banks, partners, and people with lived experience to push hunger up the political agenda – boosting political recognition of the need to strengthen the social security system, and helping secure key policy commitments across the UK.
It was also a year where we looked at the path ahead. As our 2020-2025 strategy drew to a close, we developed Together for Change: Ending Hunger Together – our bold new five-year plan to end the need for food banks.
Your support remains essential
Behind every emergency food parcel is the commitment of thousands of people who refuse to accept that hunger is inevitable. In 2024-2025, more than 40,000 volunteers gave their time to local food banks – while countless other people across the UK donated, campaigned, offered advice, or simply listened.
As we move into the next phase for Trussell, your continued support is needed more than ever.
