Hunger in the UK, 2022

<p>The Trussell Trust has commissioned '<span style="font-style: italic;">Hunger in the UK'</span>, a multi-year large-scale quantitative and qualitative research project to help support their strategic vision of ending the need for food banks. The Trussell Trust has appointed Ipsos Mori to deliver this research. The project focuses on three elements, each intended to build on existing evidence from research that the Trussell Trust had previously commissioned:</p><p>1. Exploring the life experiences and socio-demographics of people referred to food banks in the Trussell Trust network through quantitative research. This study includes a survey of people referred to food banks in the Trussell Trust network. The survey collected a broad range of demographic and socioeconomic status information at both the individual and household level.<br></p><p>2. A survey of the general population of the United Kingdom to establish benchmarks of, and track over time, the level of destitution, food-aid use, and food insecurity amongst this population. This survey mirrors the survey of people referred to food banks, thereby allowing for a comparative analysis of both populations.  <br></p><p>3. Qualitative research with people experiencing food insecurity and destitution to understand their lived experience and enrich understanding of the drivers of food bank use and the impact on individuals and families.*<br></p><p>*Currently, this study includes only the survey data from elements 1. and 2. of the project.<br></p><p>The research aims to contribute to the Trussell Trust’s goal of ending the need for food banks across the UK by providing evidence on the drivers of food insecurity and the need to receive support from a food bank. It allows exploration of the groups of people who are more likely to need support, how these experiences differ across the countries of the United Kingdom and what factors may allow people to escape food insecurity.</p><p>Further information may be found on The Trussell Trust's <a href="https://www.trusselltrust.org/what-we-do/research-advocacy/hunger-in-the-uk/">Hunger in the UK</a> webpage.</p>

特拉斯尔信托基金会（Trussell Trust）委托开展了《英国饥饿状况》（Hunger in the UK）项目，这是一项多年期大规模定量与定性研究项目，旨在支撑其终止全英食品银行需求的战略愿景。该项目由益普索莫里（Ipsos Mori）负责执行。本项目聚焦三大板块，所有板块均基于特拉斯尔信托基金会此前委托的研究成果展开：

1. 通过定量研究，探究特拉斯尔信托基金会网络内食品银行求助者的人生经历与社会人口学特征。本研究包含对该网络内食品银行求助者的问卷调查，收集了个体与家庭层面的多维度人口统计学及社会经济地位信息。

2. 针对英国普通民众开展调查，以确立该群体中极度贫困、食品援助使用及粮食不安全状况的基准，并进行长期追踪。该调查问卷与食品银行求助者调研问卷保持一致，可实现两类群体的对比分析。

3. 对经历粮食不安全与极度贫困的人群开展定性研究，以了解其亲历体验，深化对使用食品银行的动因及该行为对个人与家庭影响的认知。*

*目前本数据集仅包含项目第1、2板块的调查数据。

本研究旨在通过揭示粮食不安全的驱动因素及民众依赖食品银行寻求援助的原因，助力特拉斯尔信托基金会实现全英终止食品银行需求的目标。该研究可用于探索更易寻求援助的人群群体、英国不同构成国间的经历差异，以及哪些因素可帮助民众摆脱粮食不安全困境。
