\"Support<\/a>
\nWhen the Newcastle West End Food Bank opened for the first time on 14th March 2013 it provided food to around 30 people per week. It now has the unfortunate distinction of being the biggest in the UK, feeding around 55,000 this last year. To put this into context the number 2 food bank in the country feeds around 10,000.
\nMichael Nixon explains \u201cSome of that is to do with need, some of that is a pure accident of geography, because as people hit hard times their radius of travel shrinks. They can\u2019t afford bus fares, they can only walk. So people who come to us walk in general, and it\u2019s a radius of about a mile from the foodbank.\u201d
\nIn the six months from April to September the food bank fed almost 22,000 people, around half of which were children. 28% were those experiencing benefits problems. 35% were those actually in work but on low incomes, including many on part time or zero hours contracts. 913,138 people received three days\u2019 emergency food from The Trussell Trust food banks in 2013-14 compared to 346,992 in 2012-13.<\/p>\n
