FOODBANKS across Wales provided more than 54,000 meals to children over the last year - one every ten minutes. That is according to the latest Trussell Trust report, which reveals foodbanks in its network across Wales handed out 146,000 emergency food parcels to people facing crisis between April 2020 and March 2021. These figures mark an eight per cent increase on the the previous year, when 135,000 parcels were handed out. It is also a 69 per cent increase since 2015/16. The Trust say these figures are just the tip of the iceberg, with a number of people being helped by other food aid providers and community groups that sprang up during the pandemic.
