The Trussell Trust was founded in 1997, by Paddy and Carol Henderson while working with street children in Bulgaria at Sofia Central Railway Station. Named for Carol's mother Betty Trussell from whom they had received a legacy, the couple's work spread to the United Kingdom after the couple were contacted by a British mother who was struggling to feed her children.
After researching the issue of short-term hunger in the area, Paddy founded the first of the trust's food banks in the garage and shed of his Salisbury home.
This graph from the Trussel Trust gives a lot of information about food bank usage.
