Edwina Currie is wrong about food banks
From our UK edition
The Trussell Trust would like to correct the following inaccuracies and misleading statements made in Edwina Currie’s recent blog, and wishes to make readers aware that Edwina Currie has never spoken to The Trussell Trust, and has not sought to verify any of her assertions with us. A response to ‘Food banks aren’t solving problems — they can make things worse too’ The Trussell Trust started Salisbury foodbank in 2000 and has been running it ever since. The Trussell Trust started the UK foodbank network, a social franchise, in 2004. All foodbanks in The Trussell Trust’s network operate to a common system, adhering to agreed policies.
