Brighton Food Bank
Brighton Food Bank is an independent food bank, established in Brighton and Hove in 2000. Their clients are referred to them from over 70 organisations across Brighton and Hove and often arrive at Brighton Food Bank in crisis, with not enough money to buy food and other essentials to feed themselves and, in some cases, their families. In 2021, they gave out over 5,000 boxes of food, helping 1,223 people in need.
As the staff at Brighton Food Bank get to know their clients, they are able to find solutions to their difficulties and signpost them to other agencies that can help them move beyond their need for a food bank.
