Conclusion

This chapter has shown the many complex, overlapping, crushing reasons why people use a foodbank. Sometimes silent, sometimes chatty, sometimes overwhelmed, sometimes angry, sometimes in tears, the people I met showed me that foodbanks really are a last resort. Discussions of foodbank abuse need to be replaced with a compassionate understanding that for some people, life offers very little choice. Can people living in poverty really be expected to sit at home, with no mobile phone, no TV, no pets and no alcohol or cigarettes to help them cope? Branding people as ‘undeserving’ only stigmatises them even further when what they really need is help and support. This labelling extends to people who are in paid employment, as we will see in Chapter Five.
