Barry's story

"Hardship caused by inefficient workers who cannot read and have no grip on reality at the City Road Job Centre, thus proving the song wrong! ie God gave rock'n'roll to you."

Thank you to Barry for sharing his experiences with us.

Sonita's Story

"Currently I am a full time college student studying social sciences to gain access to university. The reason I need to use the Foodbank was because my claim for Employment Support Allowance was cancelled with no thought from the Department of Work and Pensions on how I would survive. I do not meet the criteria for other benefits due to my age and my college course. 

As I suffer from depression I have also become estranged from my father, meaning I have nobody to support me."

West Cheshire Foodbank would like to thank Sonita for sharing her story.

John's Story

"I'm only receiving benefits at present and find myself in debt with heating bills for my house, and struggling to buy food. I'm seeking full-time employment and possible chance of a factory job in the local area waiting for contact from employers". 

Thanks to John for sharing his situation with us.
