Ah ok. I don't think governments would want to brag about funding food banks because it's quite an emotive topic. So, best to leave it.Originally Posted by the other bob wilson
When the Conservatives won the Hartlepool by election a few years ago, there was an interview with someone who said he voted Tory because they’d opened more food banks in the town in the last few years
Do you seriously think that if the Government could claim any credit relating to the funding of food banks they’d keep schtum about it? I’m not saying that just to have a dig at the Conservatives, Labour would be the same as well.
I'm interested now how the national lottery decide who recieves donations. I'd bet it's determined by the government in some way.
Personally, i think food banks are a good, efficient method of helping those who really need help. If the government were to do the same job directly, they'd undoubtedly spend more with loads of bureaucracy.
