Excellent initiative Dave. Well done to all supporters of it. As a long term donor of food to a number of food banks may I put in a word for awareness of the underlying driver of much hunger being homelessness. A great deal of potential food help cannot be effective because recipients have no means of preparing cooked food. It is all part of the same problem regrettably.

I saw in the supermarket the other day someone had put dried chickpeas in the food bank collection. Which food bank users have got 14 hours, a pressure cooker and £5 worth of gas to produce a meal from dried chickpeas?!
