This question was answered on 20th March 2019
There is no official data or record of the number of foodbanks in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Details of foodbanks operating through the Trussell Trust network and statistics on the number of food parcels distributed can be found on the charity’s website www.trusselltrust.org. The Independent Foodbank Network is also working to identify food banks in the United Kingdom operating outside the Trussell Trust network; further information is on their website www.foodaidnetwork.org.uk
