Warrington Food Bank, which opened in 2012, now feeds about 350 families a week in the town and those in charge expect that number to grow.

Those who use it say it is a "vital asset" and a "life saver", while the man who runs it hopes to see the day when it is no longer needed.

BBC North West Tonight[/size] has been to meet the volunteers that help it stay open and the people who rely on it to survive.

From retired teachers to part-time police officers, barber shop owners to people working in the food service industry, more than 160 people volunteer at the food bank and many of them say it can help them as much as they help others.

Ben Pennell has been homeless and is in long-term recovery from drug and alcohol abuse.

Volunteering is all part of his recovery and he is upbeat and keen to help out wherever he is needed.

As well as Food Bank's homeless charities are presently seeing a huge increase in numbers. 


Coff4Craig last figures discussed were a 3rd up in October from September.  Guests at [size=78%]HOME | Coffee4Craig | Manchester Homeless Charity[/size] come from all walks of life but they all have one thing in common.  The april 24th Club allows businesses to review their own CSR to see if working with Coffee4Craig works for them.


Foodbanks / Homeless Charities are all getting busier whilst seeing funding issues due to the ongoing cost of living issues.
