That the Parliament notes with concern the reported worrying rise in the need for food banks in the South of Scotland region and across Scotland, and the Trussell Trust warning of a "tsunami of need" for food banks as the cost of living crisis escalates; further notes that the Trussell Trust’s latest food parcel figures for Scotland, released on 10 November 2022, show a 34% increase in emergency food parcels distributed from April to September 2022 compared to 2021; understands that the same six-month period represents the busiest ever on record for the Trussell Trust’s network in Scotland; further understands that, during the same period, there has been a significant rise in the number of parcels distributed to families with children, with 40,000 distributed, and in the numbers of people using food banks who have never used one before, which reached 27,000, and that one in five people needing to use a food bank are in work; recognises what it sees as the tremendous work being done by food bank staff, volunteers and trustees across Scotland to support people in crisis, and looks forward to the delivery of Scotland’s action plan to end the need for food banks.
