Rydyn ni’n bodoli fel bod neb yng Nghymru yn llwgu. We exist so everyone in Wales can be free from hunger 💚

[Trussell Cymru @TrussellCymru]

Hundreds of THOUSANDS of emergency food parcels were provided in Wales last year, as hardship drags on.

📦 More than 150,000 emergency food parcels were provided
📈 That’s 19% higher than pre-pandemic levels

This isn’t right - and it doesn’t have to be this way.

[Trussell Cymru @TrussellCymru]

❗We need urgent action on hunger in Wales.

With the Senedd elections days away, we've contacted local political candidates asking them to tackle hardship in our community.

You can help us - email your candidates asking them to end hunger in Wales ⤵️

Millions still face hunger as hardship drags on.

📦 2.6 MILLION emergency food parcels were provided across the UK in 2025
👶 912,216 of these were for households with children
📈 That’s still 45% higher than pre-pandemic levels

Inflation is easing, but hardship isn’t. This isn’t right - and it doesn’t have to be this way.

@Owain2026 More than 150,000 emergency food parcels were provided in Wales last year - it's never been more important to vote 💚

With around a quarter of families with children in Wales facing hunger, @TrussellUK 's @Helen_Barnard suggests 10 steps the next @WelshGovernment could take to turn the tide on child poverty

🗞️⏩https://t.co/wqQ2f3bZSv

[Trussell Cymru @TrussellCymru]

🚨 BREAKING: 51,700 emergency food parcels were provided for families with children in Wales in 2025.

Families with kids are among the hardest hit — they received 59% of all parcels.

It doesn't have to be this way. Our social security system must protect families from hunger.

[Trussell Cymru @TrussellCymru]

It’s not right that people are having to turn to food banks just to survive.

Lifting the two-child limit will bring relief to families next April.

But first, people and food banks in Wales have to get through a tough winter.

[Trussell Cymru @TrussellCymru]

🚨 JUST IN: thousands of people will need to turn to a food bank in Wales for the very first time this winter. 

The rising costs of essentials, like food, rent and bills, is pushing people to the brink.

[Trussell Cymru @TrussellCymru]

Last winter alone, our community of food banks in Wales provided over 47,000 emergency food parcels.

That’s 21% more than 5 years ago.

And alarmingly, over 17,000 of these went to children.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

WE WON 💥 The two-child benefit limit is GONE! This will pull 470,000 children out of severe hardship by 2027.

This is a massive victory for families, campaigners, and every one of you that played your part urging the Chancellor to act.

[Trussell Cymru @TrussellCymru]

Today we launched our manifesto in the Senedd with colleagues from the Trussell community.

Urgent action is needed to turn the tide on child poverty & this must include scrapping the two child cap. Nov UK Budget will be a decisive moment.

Hunger is robbing children of their childhoods. 

💔 Families with children in Wales are THREE TIMES more likely to face hunger.

A whole generation of children have now never known life without food banks.  https://t.co/cDwNOuSCeA

[ITV Wales News @ITVWales]

🗞More than half a million people face hunger across Wales, with growing numbers of working families turning to food banks, says the Trussell Trust. Catch up on this story and more in our morning news roundup with @Beth_Thomas_ 👇

❗Paid work should protect people from hunger.  

But almost of THIRD of people referred to food banks in our community in Wales live in a household where someone works. 

Whilst people are working, the system isn’t! We need change. https://t.co/cDwNOuSCeA

[Trussell Cymru @TrussellCymru]

🚨 BREAKING: 660,000 adults faced hunger and hardship in Wales last year.

That’s more people than the combined populations of Cardiff and Swansea.

Welsh and UK governments MUST act to end hunger.
