“The increasing need for emergency food cannot become acceptable in our communities.� Meet Emma Revie, our new Chief Executive on page 6
2 Newslink
Welcome I’d like to offer you all a warm welcome to my very first Newslink as Chief Executive at The Trussell Trust. Since joining the charity at the beginning of February, I have met with many foodbank staff, volunteers, and supporters and have been incredibly impressed with the dedication and passion I have witnessed. What has really struck me is the resolute drive across the network to deliver a service that enables our clients, indeed empowers them, to see beyond their current crisis, however dire it may seem. The warm welcome, the cup of tea, the smile; these are all things that make foodbanks in The Trussell Trust Network so much more than just simply a place to get emergency food. You may see coverage in the news this week about our End of Year statistics, showing another alarming increase in the use of foodbanks across the UK. Despite these figures it is clear to me that there has never been such commitment to fighting hunger and developing longterm strategies to prevent people from ending up at crisis point. The ground-breaking work carried out by The Trussell Trust founders, Paddy and Carol Henderson almost twenty years ago when they set up the foodbank in Salisbury and started the network in 2004 has been nurtured and developed.
Spring 2018 We are now an organisation that gives a strong voice to people who are living in poverty in the UK. We produce the statistics directly from our Foodbank Network which policy makers cannot ignore. Our research gives us clear understanding of who is turning to a foodbank for emergency food and, more importantly why. When we better understand the why, we can develop preventative measures to ensure that no parent must go without food in order to feed their children and nobody must ever make the tortuous choice between heating and eating. The increasing need for emergency food cannot become acceptable in our communities. With your continued support we will beat UK hunger and stand up for the most vulnerable in our communities. Thank you.

News in brief
There’s sNOw stopping the Foodbank Network! We have been hearing some heartwarming stories from around the country following our recent exposure to the ‘Beast from the East’. Several days of heavy snow in February and March brought much of the country to a standstill, but this beast could not beat our foodbank teams! It’s testament to the commitment of the incredible staff and volunteers across the network, that so many of our foodbanks remained open to distribute emergency food parcels. Where they were not able to physically open, foodbanks proactively identified alternative pick up points to ensure food parcels were still available. We want to take this opportunity to thank the outstanding teams across the network for taking on the Beast and slaying it!
Jehu Group Jehu Group, one of Wales’ largest independently owned property and construction companies, recently selected The Trussell Trust as its charity partner for 2018. The company’s board chose the Trust, following a range of charity suggestions from their staff, as they know that many residents in their local communities often struggle with hunger and poverty. They felt that supporting our Foodbank Network would have the biggest impact on the communities in which they operate. Based in Bridgend, Jehu have 15 sites across Wales, which will link up with local foodbanks. Staff will be encouraged to engage in activities, which will vary from site to site but will include volunteering, organising fundraising events and using their skills to help with construction projects at local foodbanks.

Greenwich Foodbank founder honoured with Civic Award At a ceremony at Woolwich town hall, Project Manager, Alan Robinson was recently presented with a Civic Community Award for setting up Greenwich Foodbank in 2012. The Civic Awards recognise the incredible contribution people and organisations make to the social, economic and physical wellbeing of the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Sam Stapley, Head of Operations, said “It is great to see Alan’s achievement being recognised with this award. I know that it is a team effort, and requires immense levels of support from many parties, however, it often stems from one person’s desire to change the lives of those living in crisis in their community. Without that person driving it, change would often not be able to happen.” Huge congratulations, Alan from everyone at The Trussell Trust!

Thanks to Unilever and Salesforce In an innovative partnership between long-time supporter Unilever and worldleading computing company Salesforce, The Trussell Trust is the very proud recipient of a fully-funded fabulous new database platform – a Customer Relationship Management system– to help us manage our relationships and communications with foodbanks, donors, volunteers, clients, referral agents – in fact anyone who we interact with in the course of running our charity. The new system is particularly helpful in ensuring we remain compliant with new data protection legislation (see page 18 for more info on that) and is already giving us valuable insight into the information we hold, in turn helping make everything we do more effective. Our grateful thanks go to Unilever and Salesforce for their considerable effort and financial contribution to bring this project to fruition, and to implementation partners Give Clarity for their work over the past 12 months to develop a system tailored to our very specific needs.

Meet Our new Chief executive Lizzie Allinson, Marketing and Communications Manager for The Trussell Trust spends some time with new Chief Executive Emma Revie, and meets someone determined to end hunger in the UK in her lifetime… When Emma Revie joined as Chief Executive at the beginning of February, the team was excited to start working with her. Following another incredibly busy Christmas period across the network, everyone was ready to start planning the next stage of The Trussell Trust strategy and were keen to meet the person who would lead us. Emma spent her first weeks getting to know some of her Trussell colleagues at HQ in Salisbury and across the UK. She headed out on the road to visit foodbanks in the network and talk to foodbank managers, volunteers and clients about their experiences and get their thoughts
and opinions about what works and what we could change. She’s looking forward to visiting every foodbank in our network and getting to know the teams delivering projects in their local communities. Emma’s gentle Scottish burr, friendly demeanour and infectious sense of humour bely the anger that she feels about poverty in the UK and how she is determined to tackle it. When I spent the afternoon with Emma recently, I started off by asking what her first impressions of The Trussell Trust were; “So many!” came the response. “First, I thought, what a great bunch of people. Every single person from The Trussell Trust offices in Salisbury and in the field, to the foodbank teams, has spoken with such passion and dedication about the work we do. It’s truly empowering to know you have such a strong army. Day in, day out, the foodbank teams distribute emergency food, but beyond that are involved in tackling the underlying issues surrounding poverty and providing support.
Spring 2018 Initiatives such as debt advice, benefits support, fuel vouchers and signposting to other organisations which could help are all a critical element delivered on a local level.” “Which brings me to my next impression, and that is that we have ‘muscle’ as an organisation. We have scale and reach nationally and an unparalleled network of incredible frontline volunteers and staff delivering in our foodbanks.”
“We have some fantastic friends; a great gang internally but outside the organisation there’s a real sense of goodwill towards us and a desire to work with us.” Clearly this last point is something Emma is particularly excited about. “We know that we can continue to deliver emergency food to those most vulnerable in our society, but our aim at The Trussell Trust is to prevent the crisis rather than treat it.” Having started her career at IBM, Emma quickly realised that her true calling was to stand up for people in society who do not have a voice. She spent five years with Tearfund, a Christian relief and development agency based in the UK which has worked in over 50 countries. “I learned so much from an amazing team, who were leading the fight against global poverty, and soaked up as much as I could” says Emma. “It was a great opportunity to learn and helped
Newslink 7 me understand the path I knew was right for me.” Tearfund was followed by two education organisations where she learned how to engage with government on policy and funding, experience she fully intends to make good use of within her new role. Emma’s last role before joining The Trussell Trust was with Ambition, a charity whose members are a network of umbrella youth organisations in cities, counties and countries throughout the UK. “Being part of something that will transform the lives of the people I have wanted to serve and help for years is critical for me.” She explains. At home, in London, Emma spends her time with her family and friends. A dedicated foodie, she loves to cook and entertain. “It’s no wonder,” she jokes “that I ended up at the charity running the UK – wide foodbank network!”
“I feel very proud that this is a charity built on Christian principles where I can marry my faith with my personal passion for social justice.” As a final thought Emma was keen to thank all our supporters and volunteers. “The level of change that we can contemplate making on behalf of the most vulnerable in our communities is only possible because of your support.” See Emma’s profile in Meet the Team on page 12.

Asda joins the fight to end uk hunger We talk to Samantha Lane, Head of Fundraising for The Trussell Trust, about how the new three-year Asda Fight Hunger Create Change programme will help to tackle food poverty.
Can you start by telling us how this came about? About a year ago we got a call from Asda asking how they could help us do more to tackle hunger. They’ve been supportive of our work for a long time, but they’d been looking into the issues in depth and were shocked to learn that over 8million people in the UK struggle to afford to eat.
Asda wanted to help foodbanks to do more – both in emergency food provision at the point of crisis and to support people in the longer term by helping them to get back on their feet. They know this is something their customers feel strongly about and they’ll donate over £20million across the next three years to support The Trussell Trust and FareShare as a result!
Spring 2018
Newslink 9
So what will the ‘Asda Fight Hunger Create Change’ programme achieve? This programme is deepening the partnership between The Trussell Trust and FareShare. Utilising FareShare’s distribution services means foodbanks will be able to include fresh food and produce in the three-day emergency food supplies. Meanwhile, we’ll be granting £3m a year (two-thirds of the funding we’re receiving) to foodbanks to support their work and increase their effectiveness, particularly in additional services beyond emergency food. We are also increasing our capacity to support foodbanks by recruiting additional Area Managers around the UK, and providing extra support for volunteer recruitment and development too.
one of their stores is able to donate surplus food by 2020, a lot of change will be achieved. We will see at least one million people lifted out of food poverty and countless more receiving meals made with the additional surplus food that FareShare are able to redistribute. Tell us why The Trussell Trust and FareShare have been paired together to deliver this programme? As FareShare’s Chief Executive Lindsay Boswell explains ‘FareShare is squeezing the social goodness out of an environmental problem by redistributing surplus food to charities who do good things with it’. ...continues overleaf
Our research work, which is vital to understanding why people are forced to use foodbanks and helps us to influence government policy, is also set to receive a significant boost to funding! Along with everything that FareShare are doing to increase their capacity to redistribute more surplus food and Asda’s commitment to ensure that every

Spring 2018
Foodbanks in our network can do a LOT of good things with food and so working together in this way, particularly to increase the level of fresh food that our foodbanks can give to people in need, just makes complete sense. As charities, we’re doing very different but very complementary things, and we both have national reach and scale through the networks we’ve created so the benefit of the programme will be felt in communities right across the UK. Partnerships are key to how we work and charities can achieve so much more by working together like this.
About FareShare FareShare is the UK's largest charity fighting food waste and using it for social good. They save good food from going to waste and redistribute it to frontline charities and community groups who turn it into meals for vulnerable people. Last year they redistributed enough food for 28.6 million meals. Visit fareshare.org.uk for more information.
Trussell Trust and FareShare’s CEOs and senior teams meet to start operational planning.
The ‘Asda Fight Hunger Create Change’ programme was announced in February, when will the programme start to create an impact on the ground? Asda held their annual meeting for General Store Managers in February, so we wanted to let them all know that their store would be being paired up with a foodbank or other local charity and how they could get involved locally. It seemed like the right time to tell the world about what we had planned! We are currently recruiting new staff to support foodbanks and volunteers and manage the grants programme, and will see money and additional support reaching foodbanks and their clients from this summer.
Spring 2018
In May, Asda stores will start to ramp up their efforts by launching food and volunteer drives to support foodbanks and other charities in their local area. Some people might worry this is ‘normalising’ hunger and food poverty and could even lead to foodbanks being a permanent fixture in our communities. What would you say to that? Absolutely not – we will never accept hunger and food poverty. This funding will help foodbanks reach out to more people in crisis, yes, but crucially they will be able to do more to help tackle the causes of hunger, by supporting people to get back on their feet with so much more than just food – for example through debt advice and job clubs. And we’ll be able to use our research more and more to influence policies which will make life more manageable for people currently struggling on low incomes. We’re here to stop hunger and food poverty, not just make it easier for people to live with – and Asda and FareShare are here to do that too.
Newslink 11
Asda have pledged a lot of money, does this mean you don’t have to fundraise for the next three years? Not quite! The funding from Asda, while substantial, is only partially covering some of our existing costs – we wanted to use it mainly to fund new things that we haven’t been able to do before. So we still need to fundraise another £5m or so a year to fund all of our work. Over and above that, we need to make sure that we have new or alternative sources of funding beyond the lifetime of the Asda funding for this additional work. While we are determined not to make foodbanks a permanent fixture in our communities, we know it will take longer to stop hunger for good. We’re going to do it though! Look out for our article in the summer issue of Newslink where we’ll be talking to Asda and FareShare about their work as part of the Fight Hunger Create Change programme.

why are so many families facing hunger? “Why are we sat in our quilts mummy? Mummy it’s cold, can we put the heating on?”
Last year Oldham Foodbank, one of the foodbanks in our network, provided over 7,000 three-day emergency food supplies – nearly 2,500 of those went to children. Children like Amelia. Amelia’s dad works full time but as he’s on the minimum wage he receives top ups to his income from the new benefits system, Universal Credit. But sometimes problems with their payments mean they can’t cover the cost of basic essentials and they need the help of their local foodbank. Amelia’s mum, Danielle, explained just how hard it is:
“I can’t imagine what my partner’s feeling, when he’s going to work day in, day out. Or when the kids are opening that fridge, and it’s empty and there’s nothing there for them to get. That’s traumatising for me, as a Mum.”
Spring 2018
This isn’t just happening in Oldham – it’s happening right across the UK. There should be no higher priority than ensuring all families can afford to feed their children. So, why are families turning to foodbanks in increasing numbers and what needs to be done to help them? We recently released a report, produced in partnership with the Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Sheffield, about families at foodbanks. What our research uncovered is shocking. We discovered that families with children are particularly likely to fall into crisis, making up over half of people at foodbanks.
People referred to foodbanks are more likely to have dependent children (70%) than the UK average (42%). It also highlighted that work is not protecting all families from falling into crisis. Households with children who come to a foodbank for emergency food are more likely to be in work than households without children, but working families earn less than half of the low-income threshold for the UK.
Newslink 15 Furthermore, over 80% of families with children at foodbanks were classed as “severely food insecure” (meaning they had skipped meals and gone without eating, sometimes for days at a time) in the past 12 months because of a lack of money. This research shows beyond any doubt that many families across Britain are locked in poverty, with income so low they are unable even to afford to feed their children. It doesn’t have to be this way. We’re asking policy-makers to ensure better support is in place by increasing benefit levels for families with dependent children and ensuring that work pays for parents on Universal Credit; lifting benefit levels in line with inflation and allowing families to keep more of their earnings under Universal Credit before top up payments are reduced would be good first steps. Your support means we can continue to undertake research like this and shine a light on the inequalities that adversely affect hard-working families and trap them in a cycle of poverty and to work towards solutions that tackle the reasons why people face hunger in the first place. With you by our side, we won’t stop until we end hunger and poverty in the UK.

Step by step, raising funds for charity!
Spring 2018
62 miles is hardly a Sunday afternoon walk in the park, so when father and son team Rory and Charlie decided to walk from Hawick, in the southern uplands of Scotland where they were born, to Newcastle upon Tyne, they know they might be in for sore feet and a couple of blisters! Having decided to raise funds for their three nominated charities (Meningitis Research Foundation, The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS charity and The Trussell Trust) they set off on 29th March, determined to rise to the challenge. Despite the cold and grey wintry weather, the duo was in high spirits, knowing that the funds they were raising through sponsorship would help their charities. The walk took a gruelling 19 hours over three days and raised an amazing £3,635. Monies received by The Trussell Trust will be shared between the Newcastle and Glasgow foodbanks, who provided over 64,000 three-day emergency food parcels to vulnerable people in their local communities in 2016/17. Rory said, ‘We knew it would be tough but worth it. We both wish for a world where homelessness and foodbanks
were a distant memory, but in our society they are very important and we applaud all you do.’ Fifteen miles into their walk, the pair took a photo at Carter Bar, the English-Scottish border point before continuing across the Northumberland National Park and down to St James’ park in Newcastle, to watch their team Newcastle United play. Amy Llewellyn, Community Fundraising Manager at The Trussell Trust said, “Huge congratulations to Rory and Charlie for taking on such a fantastic challenge. This kind of story is the reason I love my job – to see people going above and beyond to support people in their communities is so inspiring. The funds raised in this challenge for The Trussell Trust will have a direct impact on people facing crisis and hunger.”

Jonathan’s Story Jonathan was quite literally penniless when he walked through the doors of his local foodbank.
If your income were to suddenly stop for four months, would you have enough food in your cupboards to survive? Would you be able to pay your phone bill, your council tax, your heating? If your kids needed school shoes or your boiler broke down, would you have anything left to buy food and other necessities? Would this be beyond your reach?
At the end of 2017 we spoke to Jonathan*, a qualified social worker about needing help from a foodbank. Jonathan, 52, described himself as ‘quite literally penniless’ when he walked through the doors of his local Trussell Trust Foodbank. Having worked as a Project Worker for a housing association, the irony that he was now
Spring 2018 in the same position as many of the clients he had been supporting through his work for the past seven years did not escape him. He had worked tirelessly to support homeless people and exoffenders, recently released from prison, and a typical day could include anything from dealing with antisocial behaviour issues and clients reoffending, to drug use and complex mental health issues. The gruelling and emotionally challenging nature of this work finally took its toll.
“My whole life I’ve worked in jobs helping and caring for others and I think this had an impact on my wellbeing.” “In July 2017 I was given time off work after suffering a mental breakdown.” explains Jonathan. “During this time I was admitted to hospital.” Upon leaving hospital, and unable to work due to his ill health, Jonathan received help from a local charity to make an application for Universal Credit. After submitting the forms, a misunderstanding that he had returned to work, caused delays with his payment, meaning he would have to wait over four months for his first payment. With his first payment not due until January, Jonathan didn’t know where to turn. As the weather got colder he found himself getting further and further into debt just to survive. Still unable to return to work, he was
Newslink 21 given a voucher for his local foodbank by his GP.
“The first time I stepped into a foodbank I felt a bit embarrassed, especially as part of my last job had been applying for emergency food on other people’s behalf.” Trained staff and volunteers know how hard it can be for a client to walk through the doors of a foodbank. The feelings of anxiety, shame, and desperation, often exacerbated by hunger, can be hard to overcome, but once inside, clients are welcomed by friendly volunteers and offered a warm drink and often a meal. There, they find the immediate help they need to help them cope with their crisis, but also the additional advice and services and signposting them to other organisations able to help them get fully back on their feet. Coming to a foodbank is often someone’s first step on a journey of recovery. For Jonathan, currently looking for work in an environment that will better support his health and wellbeing, it marked a turning point when life had simply become too much for him to cope with. *name changed to protect identity

The Data Protection law is changing, but what does it mean for you? As you may already know, changes in the Data Protection law are coming into effect soon. The act is being updated and will become known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from 25th May this year. The changes mean that every one of us will have more say about how our personal data is stored and used by organisations. This new regulation improves on the previous Data Protection Act by clarifying the lawful basis by which organisations can process your data. It also sets out a number of rights for you that organisations are required to act on. This means that more power is given to you about who holds your information, and how and when organisations can contact you. GDPR also recognises the importance of accountability and governance of organisations that hold personal details, and requires them to demonstrate that they are complying with the
requirements of the regulation. This all means that you as a supporter are given more say about information we hold and how we communicate with you in the future. New legislation can be complex with a considerable amount of information to absorb, but in essence we believe that GDPR can be simply translated as:
Getting Donors Preferences Right As part of our ongoing commitment to our supporters we have reviewed our own policies and procedures to ensure we can give you the best possible service.
