Foodbanks for children
The number of children being fed through foodbanks in the south west of England has almost quadrupled in the past three years.
The figures have risen from an average of just over 430 children a month to more than 1,600 children a month.
The statistics come from the Trussell Trust, a charity which runs 28 foodbanks across the region.
