Some 700,000 UK households used a food bank in the year prior to the coronavirus outbreak, according to estimates from a study on food poverty.
This represents 2.5% of all UK households between 2019-20, the Trussell Trust said, with food bank users at the start of last year living on just £248 a month on average after paying for their housing.
The charity said hunger in the UK is not about food but about people not having enough money for the basics, with this amount needing to cover energy and water costs, council tax, food, and other essentials.

Eight teams will contest the tournament. They are hosts England, as well as Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa and a nation from the Caribbean, which is likely to be Barbados, if there is no West Indies Women’s Championship this year.
