Given the difficult times that many face at the moment, it’s probably no surprise to hear that demand for the services of foodbank have increased over the last few months.
Hannah King from Isle of Wight foodbank tells us that they fed 302 people in September and over 300 in October from their seven distribution centres across the Island.
“These are Isle of Wight people in crisis here on the Island.” says Hannah.
