The Bishop of Oxford says he's raised concerns

:00:11.:00:12.

about the level of food povdrty with the Prime Minister.

:00:13.:00:15.

The Right Reverend John Pritchard says all politicians need to hear

:00:16.:00:17.

there's a growing problem whth people having enough to eat.

:00:18.:00:21.

A study by church leaders in the Thames Valley has shown food

:00:22.:00:23.

banks have also become advice centres for vulnerable people.

:00:24.:00:27.

The report, called 999 Food, was launched today.

:00:28.:00:30.

Over the past five years, the Oxford food bank has gone

:00:31.:00:35.

from a two`man band to a seven days a week operation, providing 800

:00:36.:00:39.

It's a stopgap for many people, an emergency.

:00:40.:00:47.

Some people rely on it for social events and things like that.

:00:48.:00:50.

homelessness Citizens Advicd Bureau often refers to food banks.

:01:20.:01:23.

The Bishop of Oxford told the audience about the recent mdeting

:01:24.:01:30.

Although there are four timds as many food banks now as therd were a

:01:31.:01:38.

couple of years ago, there `re ten times the users, a million tsers.

:01:39.:01:41.

I hope he's getting that message because that's what all

:01:42.:01:43.

of our politicians need to hear there's a problem.

:01:44.:01:45.

Organisers said food banks need to work closer together

:01:46.:01:48.

The long`term aim is for food banks not to be needed at all.
