How many food banks are there in the UK?

It's difficult to give an exact number of food banks in the UK because there isn't a single, centralized registry for all of them. However, we can look at some reliable sources:

* The Trussell Trust: The largest food bank network in the UK, they had over 1,300 food bank centers across the country as of 2022.

* Other food banks: Besides the Trussell Trust, there are many independent and smaller food bank networks and organizations across the UK. It's estimated that there could be hundreds more beyond the Trussell Trust network.

Therefore, it's safe to say that there are likely thousands of food banks operating in the UK.

Keep in mind: The number of food banks is constantly changing, with new ones opening and existing ones closing or merging. The best way to find a food bank near you is to use online resources like the Trussell Trust's website or search for "food banks near me."
