A Preston food bank is continuing to see an increase in demand as more people are pushed into poverty with more clients in full or part-time work as food prices and household bills remain high.

The Salvation Army in Preston, in Harrington Street, runs a food bank four days a week.

The church and charity has already seen more than half the number of referrals in the first six months of this year than it did during 2024 with on average 60 to 80 referrals a week now seeking support.
