We were at the Trussell Trust NI's Hunger in Northern Ireland report launch in Stormont this morning and heard about how people are struggling with the cost of food and essentials. One in five households (21%) in NI experienced food insecurity in 2024.

#Poverty #FoodPoverty #FuelPoverty
Image of a long hall with tables and chairs – the Long Gallery in Stormont. There are people sitting at round tables, and a screen is at the front. The Trussell Trust banner with the map of Northern Ireland and the words, ‘We stand side by side with the communities we are rooted in’, is at the right side of the hall. Somebody is holding up a brochure with the title, ‘Hunger in Northern Ireland. Executive Summary. September 2025’ at the front of the photo. The brochure also features a picture of a father with two children in a park above the title and the Trussell Trust logo in the top right corner, as well as a QR code at the bottom.’
