<<<If you need to make use of a food bank which is part of the Trussell Trust , a charity which runs hundreds of food banks across the UK, you will first need to be issued with a food bank voucher.
These are issued by different sources, such as Citizens Advice , doctors, health workers and social workers, while some food banks work with local housing associations and drug and alcohol support agencies too.
The decision is based on whether you are in a crisis situation and need emergency food.>>>>
