🧼 It's National Hygiene Week; we’re using this as an opportunity to highlight the impact that hygiene poverty can have on everyday life.

For millions of people across the UK, not having access to essential hygiene products can mean more than feeling uncomfortable. It can affect confidence, education and the ability to work.

No one should have to miss out because they can’t afford the essentials. That’s why we’re proud to support food banks with hygiene products alongside food, helping people access the essentials they need.

Data shows that thirty-five percent of single adult households with children have experienced food insecurity. That's more than one in three families raising children on their own, struggling to access enough food.

It's a heavier burden to carry alone, and it's exactly why our network of food banks exists, to make sure no family has to face that choice without support.

If you'd like to help families like these, please consider supporting Food Bank Aid on our website.

Small pleasures, but for many people facing food insecurity, they're often the first things to go. When money is tight, it's not just meals that get cut, it's the little comforts that make everyday life feel normal.

☕ Coffee and tea
🧴 Nicely scented shower gel and toiletries
🍫 A chocolate treat

We make sure our food banks are stocked with these too, because dignity isn't just about getting by, it's about still having something to look forward to.

Peace isn't only the absence of conflict, it's the quiet security of knowing where your next meal is coming from.

Research found that 72% of people facing food insecurity said it made them feel more anxious, and 66% said it increased their stress levels. For too many households, that uncertainty is a daily reality, not an occasional worry (Food Foundation - 2024).

🕊 This International Day of Peace, we're reminded that food security isn't just about full plates, it's about calm minds and steady homes.

As Yom Kippur begins, many will observe a fast, a day of reflection made meaningful because it has an end.

For too many people facing food insecurity, going without a meal isn't a choice or a single day, it's a regular reality.

If you're observing, we wish you a safe and easy fast. And if you're able to, please consider supporting Food Bank Aid so that fewer people have to go without.

Where did it all start?

Back in 2020, Covid-19 and the first lockdown hit hard. Inflation was rising, food costs were climbing, interest rates and energy bills were going up, and waiting times for healthcare were growing longer. All of it meant more people were facing food insecurity than ever before.

Our founder, Naomi, decided to do something about it. She began collecting donations out of her own garage to supply her local food banks. It didn't take long for her to notice a bigger gap, food banks themselves needed support to keep running.

That's where Food Bank Aid was born.

Now, we support over 30 food banks across London, ensuring thousands have access to the essentials they need.
