Swindon Foodbank has many stories of being able to help people in crisis. People like Brian:  “My wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer. I’ve had to give up work in order to take care of her and our twin sons who are just 18 months old - but I won’t get benefits for 12 weeks. How on earth am I going to provide for my family and take care of them during this time?”

Foodbank was able to help Brian by giving him food to feed his family until his benefits started.

Brian’s story is just one example of the many varying situations in which we offer support.
