    Well that explains it

    Only four per cent of people turned to foodbanks due to homelessness; 30% were referred due to benefit delay; 18% low income and 15% benefit changes (up from 11% in 2011-12). Other reasons included domestic violence, sickness, refused crisis loans, debt and unemployment. The majority of people turning to foodbanks were working age families.

    Over 15,000 frontline care professionals such as doctors, social workers, schools liaison officers and Jobcentre Plus referred their clients to foodbanks in 2012-13.

    So half of foodbank's work is papering over the cracks in the Benefit system.

    (not meant as a criticism of foodbanks more of the benefit system).
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
