Oxfam believes that everybody in the UK should have enough to eat. With Unilever's support, we have been making sure that families don't go hungry. Our work with the Trussell Trust foodbank network has meant that around two million meals have been provided to families in crisis - families that otherwise have been forced to skip meals or choose whether to 'heat or eat' during the winter months. We also work with FareShare, to make sure that unwanted food goes to people that need it rather than being wasted. As well as supporting foodbanks, Oxfam is working to tackle the longer term problems that mean families need to rely on foodbanks - we're working towards a world where everybody can live their lives with dignity and free from poverty. http://www.oxfam.org.uk/clearaplate
