#55 - Food Banks: Their History, How They Work, and How You Can Help (with Luke Myer)

We're joined by Charlotte's friend Luke, who currently volunteers for his local food bank in Redcar.

He gives us a brief explanation of the ways people throughout history have helped the hungry, and the austerity policies that have come into place in more modern times. We then chat about food banks: how they work, how we can all do our bit to help, and why you shouldn't be ashamed to use one.
