Podcast: Ending hunger with the Trussell Trust

An eye-opening conversation with Director of Public Engagement, Sophie Carre
In the fourth episode of our Beyond Funding podcast series, Alice Garwood (Host) talks to Sophie Carre (Guest) from the Trussell Trust about the growing issue of poverty across the UK, and the charity’s determination to raise awareness and galvanise change. 
 
This episode covers the landscape of poverty, the effect of the cost of living crisis, and how food banks are at breaking point. Sophie also talks about how key it is to change attitudes in society and how we can all work together to campaign for greater support.
 
The Beyond Funding podcast offers advice to churches and charities on their fundraising journey and hosts conversations about major social challenges with expert guests.

“Food banks and their volunteers are absolutely incredible. But I don’t think it’s ever been this relentless before. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many at breaking point."
