Recent media coverage has resulted in more foodbanks, greater support and more hungry people fed! Our annual statistics on numbers fed by foodbanks were reported by media including BBC News, ITV News, Sky, BBC Breakfast, ITV Daybreak, BBC Radio 4, Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio 5Live as well the Guardian and FT.

‘VOLUNTEERING HELPED ME TO GET A JOB’ Chris, 19, has just finished volunteering at Salisbury foodbank. The Trussell Trust is sad to see him go but we’re delighted that he’s leaving us to start a paid job, and he says volunteering with us is what helped him to get it. After struggling with a difficult illness during school, Chris’ confidence and studies had taken a serious knock. Chris joined our Salisbury foodbank

team in October 2011 and says: ‘I used to be really shy but volunteering has improved my confidence a lot. It’s also given me the experience I needed. The Trussell Trust and Sarum Academy have turned my life around. I have belief in myself, I’m hoping to go to university, I know what I’m good at and I feel positive about the future.’

A customer came to our Bemerton shop recently who had been the victim of a serious attack and was suicidal as a result. After talking to Leanne, our assistant manager, she emailed the next day asking us to thank Leanne saying:

Schools across the UK are learning about local poverty by volunteering at a foodbank. Sebastian (left) and his Year 8 classmates from Salisbury Cathedral School spent the afternoon packing foodboxes recently. He says: ‘It’s shocking that people go hungry in Salisbury, you don’t expect it but it’s nice to feel part of helping a family to get food.’ ‘Every pupil should be taught about The Trussell Trust and not to take food for granted, to learn that life’s not perfect and we should give generously.’

Almost 130,000 people received emergency food from Trussell Trust foodbanks in 2011-12, double the numbers fed in 2010-11. Many families have been forced to go hungry by rising costs of food and fuel combined with static incomes, high unemployment and changes to benefits. Thanks to your support, 128,697 people did not go hungry last year. Here are just a few stories from people who wanted to say thank you:

“Thank you!” - Samantha and family

After eight years of service, foodbank legend Jeremy Ravn is retiring in September for a well earned rest. We will miss him and wish him all the best.

In April we opened a new charity shop on Salisbury High Street to help generate funds to support The Trussell Trust’s rapid growth. We now have six shops in the Wiltshire and Dorset area.

If it wasn’t for the foodbank Steve and I would be in a box.’ Barbara’s husband Steve took pleasure in being the breadwinner for the family until the bones in his neck began to crumble. He was left unable to work and forced to live on statutory sick pay. A family crisis meant finances went from bad to worse leaving the couple with no money for food.

HOME COUNTIES When 13-year-old Sophie’s Dad died, the cost of funeral expenses tipped the family over the edge and they were forced to turn to the foodbank: ‘It was such a massive help and the people there were really kind,’ said Sophie. She added that the food parcel helped them to get back on their feet but that without it ‘it would have been impossible to cope.’

FROM SMALL BEGINNINGS... 15 YEARS OF TRUSSELL TRUST When Paddy Henderson met baby Boris (left) in Bulgaria 15 years ago no-one could have predicted where this encounter would lead.

Paddy with baby Boris in Bulgaria, 1997

This small street baby’s life was in the balance. His mother, an abandoned child herself, could not feed him. Paddy and his wife Carol decided to do something to help Bulgaria’s abandoned children. Using a modest legacy from Carol’s mum, The Trussell Trust was born. To date, over 700 abandoned children have been helped by our Bulgaria projects. But The Trussell Trust didn’t stop there...

Today, The Trussell Trust is launching three new foodbanks every week, has over 200 UK foodbanks and fed over 128,000 people last year. Our vision is ‘a foodbank in every UK town, creating a nation where no-one goes hungry’. Paddy’s compassion for Boris started something big, but we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for being part of our story.

MARIANA'S STORY INSPIRES LIFE CHANGING PROJECT As a small girl, Mariana hated going home. ‘Home’ meant beatings from her mother and uncle. They thought that her slightly malformed leg meant she was cursed and as a result they beat her. She says: “I used to wander in the streets until late at night waiting for my mum and my uncle to go to sleep before I came home.’ Eventually she was sent to Lipnitza Orphanage School, here she met Trussell Trust founders Paddy and Carol. Bright and engaging, Mariana wanted to complete her studies but found herself homeless when she became too old for the orphanage. The Trussell Trust paid for Mariana to live in a hostel for two years and she finished her education.

BETTY’S LEGACY

Bulgaria

15 years ago Betty Trussell left her daughter Carol a legacy that founded The Trussell Trust. Today Betty’s gift is still transforming lives. Could you follow in Betty’s footsteps and leave The Trussell Trust a legacy in your Will? Big or small, your gift will help to us to continue changing lives for generations to come. For more visit www.trusselltrust.org/legacies or call Mark Ward on 01722 580176.

The Trussell Trust is one of the first charities to partner with ‘Pennies’ electronic charity box, an innovative initiative that enables customers in participating stores to donate a few extra pennies to charity when paying by card.

Today, Mariana, now 25, is married to a young pastor, has just had her first baby and is working to help disadvantaged people in her community. Seeing the impact of a small investment in Mariana’s life inspired the Trust to start The House of Opportunity Programme, which this year celebrates its fifth birthday. The programme has helped over 30 orphanage leavers to turn their lives around. We now have three Houses of Opportunity in Bulgaria and are fundraising to open new houses in Varna and Sofia soon. Could you help?
