Identifying those in need and making provisions is one thing, getting our authorities in the UK involved, could be have disastrous consequences and certainly would feed Government statistics!
I would need a lot more convincing, before embarking on such a project.
I have a grave doubt, whilst this may provide much needed food, it is tied in too heavily into the authorities. By this I mean that it is front line care professionals who identify people in need
"Care professionals such as doctors, health visitors, social workers, CAB and police identify people in crisis and issue them with a foodbank voucher."
Could this be used as yet another Government method of spying on the poor and needy? This needs more scrutiny!
I also have very mixed feelings about faith charities offering support. Aren't there any secular charities out there that help others on a purely humanitarian basis?
On the other hand without this support the disadvantaged would be facing starvation.
@SirBubbaGumb0 Yes, I agree, there are some very vulnerable people who will be passed into the hands of our authorities, this does not fill me with confidence! Not at all!. It may even be that the disadvantaged would be better off avoiding this altogether! This needs watching!

I love the food-bank idea but the proselytizing just seems sinister.

Not keen on the slick, commercial voice. He sounds like he could just as easily be selling cars, or credit cards.
