Foodbanks spreading in UK

"A foodbank gives three days of nutritionally balanced food and support to people experiencing emotional or financial crisis. Our foodbank network is mobilising communities across the UK to meet the needs of their neighbours by setting up a foodbank in their own town."

Quite a nice example of community resilience.

One has just opened up in Hammersmith and Fulham. They were originally set up by the Trussell Trust.
