The below letter was published in The Guardian as today, 16th April, a terrible new milestone was passed in food poverty. Statistics from the Trussell Trust, added to those from several studies of independent food banks, suggest one million food parcels were handed out over the last year as the safety net for the poor and vulnerable in Britain crumbles.

To the Rt Hon David Cameron MP, the Rt Hon Nick Clegg MP, the Rt Hon Ed Miliband,

This Lent we, and thousands of others, made the rise of hunger in the UK the focus of our fasting. It has been a time of sorrowful and deep reflection on a rise we see every day in the numbers visiting foodbanks in towns and cities across the country.

The Trussell Trust figures, released today, only further illustrate this terrible rise, from 350,000 last year to over 900,000 this year. This figure, shocking as it is, is far from the total number of people going hungry in our country today – from those too ashamed to visit their local foodbank to those many families not in crisis but ever more worried about keeping the cupboards full. One in four is cutting portion sizes and half are cutting their household food budgets Lent has finally seen the beginning of a real national discussion on what this hunger means, what causes it, and how we as a society can begin rising to the challenge of this national crisis.

As we approach Easter the mind turns to the hope of spring, the promise of resurrection and renewal. The hope Easter symbolises this year is a quiet and determined one. The hope that sees more and more people respond to their neighbours’ need, volunteering and supporting their local foodbank. The hope that sees politicians from all parties come together with our colleague, the Bishop of Truro, to hear the real stories of UK hunger in a full and independent inquiry.

Hope is not an idle force. Hope drives us to act. It drives us to tackle the growing hunger in our midst. It calls on each of us, and government too, to act to make sure that work pays, that food markets support sustainable and healthy diets, and that the welfare system provides a robust last line of defence against hunger.

The fast is over, the work begins. We ask that you commit fully to engage with the independent inquiry into the rise of UK hunger, championing its recommendations, and agree to meet representatives of the End Hunger Fast
campaign to discuss how we can better work on these urgent issues together.

Yours faithfully,
