Our Vision
Our vision is for a UK without the need for food banks
Our Mission
We exist so everyone can be free from hunger.
We’re an anti-poverty charity and community of food banks. We work together to ensure no one in the UK needs a food bank to survive, while providing food and practical support to people left without enough money to live on.
Our Values
Compassion – This motivates us to stand alongside people in facing hardship and provide support and care for individuals.
Justice – This drives us to insist that it is not right that somebody should experience hunger or poverty, and take action to change this.
Dignity – We recognise the value of every individual, prioritising other people’s needs and concerns in the spirit of friendship.
Community – As people, we are all interconnected, and because of this we have a responsibility to support one another.
Our Commitments
Trussell is founded on, shaped and guided by Christian principles.
We describe these principles as values of dignity, justice, compassion and community. These are central to all we do, and they support our aim to be an organisation where the diversity of all employees is valued and celebrated. We welcome people of all faiths and none that are committed to these shared values.
We recognise that we have under-represented groups within our workforce. As part of our commitment to diversity and equality of opportunity we are actively encouraging applications from under-represented groups such as returning parents or carers who are re-entering work after a career break, people who are LGBTQIA+, from racially minoritised communities such as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, with a disability, impairment, learning difference or long-term condition, with caring responsibilities, from different nations and regions and those with a lived experience of poverty as well as any other under-represented group in our workforce. We are committed ensuring the safety and protection of our employees from all forms of harm.
