Tracey's Story

"Tracey was made redundant from full time work, just before having her first baby.  Her partner was employed but was also made redundant.  Apart from child and maternity benefit, they aren't claiming other benefits and will now lose working tax credits."

Foodbank would like to thank Tracey for her story.

Perry's Story

"I have been told that I owe £17 000 in overpaid disability benefits.  I haven't had any money for ten days and I am waiting for an appeal in another ten days.  I just have to tell the truth.
I get quite down thinking about it.  I have been borrowing odd bits of money from my neighbours."

Thank you Perry for sharing your story with Foodbank.
