The problem of hunger is becoming a growing crisis in England and Wales. In the past twelve months more than 1,100,000 emergency food supplies have been given to people suffering food poverty by Trussell Trust foodbanks, which highlights the extent of the problem. To add to this, hospital admissions for malnutrition in England almost doubled between 2008 and 2013 and continue to grow.

In its Awareness campaign entitled ‘Who Cares?’, the Catholic charity St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP) is raising awareness of the problem of hunger and showing how the charity’s 8,000 volunteer members care for adults and children experiencing food poverty every day.
