Charlotte's Story

"I was caught without a TV licence years ago. I had moved house several times but without warning the bailiffs turned up and wanted to take all my furniture and the kids stuff. They said I would go to prison if the auction didn't pay the debt.So I had to pay a huge amount of money without warning and now I have no money left for food."

Thanks to Charlotte for sharing her story with us.

Terry's Story

"When I was sick my benefits were stopped. I'd put a sick note in but hadn't got to the DWP centre so they just stopped my benefit."

Thanks to Terry for sharing why he had to visit the Foodbank.

Mike's Story

"I came here today because I needed some help to obtain food for me and my partner. The reason for this is that the dole have not as yet sorted my new claim for ESA. I am very grateful for the help and the service that has been provided and given to me here today. Very relaxing and calm atmosphere too. Nice place to be."

Alan's Story

"I lost my job just before Christmas and have been claiming JSA since then. Unfortunately due to a sanction I have had my Job Seekers Allowance stopped leaving me with no money for food. I have had to collect a food parcel from West Cheshire Foodbank. I am grateful this is here: I would not have been able to get by without it. Thank you."

Our thanks to Alan for sharing his story with us whilst visiting one of our Foodbank centres.

Derek's Story

"I have changed our benefits from JSA to ESA and because it means I am not actually looking for work they have cut my benefits from £57 per week to £11.20 per week. How are you supposed to live on this amount of money?"

Our thanks to Derek for sharing this whilst collecting an emergency food parcel at one of our Foodbank Centres.
