    Hi @suma,

    To get a referral to a food bank you could:

    • Contact a Local Agency or Professional: Reach out to agencies like Citizens Advice, your GP, health visitor, social worker, or a local charity. They can assess your needs and provide you with a food bank voucher if necessary.
    • Speak with Your Local Council: Many councils have schemes to support people in crisis. Check your local council’s website or give them a call to ask about food bank referrals.
    • Connect with a Support Line: Organisations like Turn2Us or the Trussell Trust can offer advice and direct you to local food banks. The Trussell Trust operates a large network of food banks across the UK, and their website has a food bank finder tool.
