:04:27. > :04:28.A food bank in Bristol says it's dealing with unprecedented demand
:04:29. > :04:36.with over 40% more people using it compared to this time last year.
:04:37. > :04:39.In December, the Bristol North West Food Bank ran out of food completely
:04:40. > :04:40.after giving away more than five-and-a-half
:04:41. > :04:45.So, let's take a look at some of the numbers.
:04:46. > :04:50.We've spoken to the Trussell Trust which was set up here in the west,
:04:51. > :04:53.and now runs 400 food banks across the country.
:04:54. > :04:56.From spring through summer last year, they helped over 30,000
:04:57. > :05:00.people by giving them a three-day emergency food parcel.
:05:01. > :05:05.You can see the breakdown by county, with Gloucestershire
:05:06. > :05:09.right at the top there, with over nine-and-a-half-thousand.
:05:10. > :05:13.And of that total, more than a third who received food were children.
:05:14. > :05:17.The picture's been much the same for the past three years.
:05:18. > :05:21.Scott Ellis reports now from the food bank in North Bristol.
:05:22. > :05:29.Abbey Wylde's a single mother-of-two.
:05:30. > :05:32.She's been referred to her local food bank in Lawrence Weston
:05:33. > :05:40.To collect a three-day emergency food parcel.
:05:41. > :05:44.It is finding a job to fit around the hours
:05:45. > :05:48.The benefits aren't enough to cover the bills?
:05:49. > :05:55.This week, I am struggling to afford bills at the moment.
:05:56. > :05:59.According to the Trussell Trust, almost a third of referals
:06:00. > :06:02.to food banks in the UK are because of benefit delays,
:06:03. > :06:14.In six years, these volunteers in north-west
:06:15. > :06:20.People on such low wages they have problems feeding their children.
:06:21. > :06:23.When the children have holiday from school they don't get any
:06:24. > :06:25.free meals so they come to us for extra food.
:06:26. > :06:28.So well established are food banks, they're now branching out.
:06:29. > :06:30.There's also fuel banks, and debt advice.
:06:31. > :06:36.And cookery courses for those on low incomes, learning it's cheaper
:06:37. > :06:46.I didn't know about making soup from scratch.
:06:47. > :06:55.So food banks are growing and diversifying.
:06:56. > :06:56.But a rise in handouts remains a potential
:06:57. > :07:02.Both left and right have accused the Trussell Trust of overstating
:07:03. > :07:15.These volunteers say they're just meeting a demand.
:07:16. > :07:18.People were saying before they would have stolen things,
:07:19. > :07:30.Local agencies were saying, social workers were paying for things,
:07:31. > :07:33.for people out of their own pockets, and couldn't sustain it.
:07:34. > :07:35.We are really supporting other services working hard
:07:36. > :07:38.The volunteers limit handouts to ensure no-one becomes overly
:07:39. > :07:41.But no-one here thinks the queue for their food
:07:42. > :07:44.Scott Ellis, BBC Points West, Avonmouth.
:07:45. > :07:46.Well, someone who has expressed concern about the number
:07:47. > :07:49.of food banks is the film director Ken Loach who lives in Bath.
:07:50. > :07:54.More than 50 years after he made the documentary film
:07:55. > :07:57.Cathy Come Home, he's been speaking out as part of a documentary
:07:58. > :07:59.about homelessness which is being shown on BBC One tonight.
:08:00. > :08:02.And he says this dependence on charities is evidence
:08:03. > :08:13.We now take it for granted there will be food banks and that
:08:14. > :08:16.people will have to choose between heating and eating,
:08:17. > :08:26.Even after the war we didn't accept that, but now we accept it.
:08:27. > :08:30.That is a consequence of this Government and its press
:08:31. > :08:37.Well, joining us tonight is Alison Inglis-Jones who is a trustee
:08:38. > :08:39.for the Trussell Trust, and she's in London
:08:40. > :08:53.Thank you for coming. Do you agree with what Ken Loach said, this is a
:08:54. > :08:57.sign of a broken society? Or of a society compassionate and works to
:08:58. > :09:03.help people in need? I will agree on the second point,
:09:04. > :09:09.people come to the Castle trust and say they want to set up a food bank,
:09:10. > :09:13.they have seen a need in their area. We help them set up, it is a
:09:14. > :09:17.community response to a community need.
:09:18. > :09:22.This is what is interesting is this isn't just a British phenomenon, in
:09:23. > :09:28.France they use food banks more than Britain, in Australia, and
:09:29. > :09:33.commonplace across Europe and the US, what is going on?
:09:34. > :09:38.Most people who come to the trust will trust food banks as picked up
:09:39. > :09:42.in your report is a result of benefit delays and sanctions,
:09:43. > :09:48.increasingly, people come as a result of low income. I notice
:09:49. > :09:53.increasingly people are trying to hold down a number of jobs and still
:09:54. > :09:59.cannot make ends meet. In the south-west according to your
:10:00. > :10:04.figures, food bank use is up 3.2% but in the north-east down by almost
:10:05. > :10:13.30%. Bristol food bank has been going the
:10:14. > :10:19.six years. People are addressing the issue, not simply handing out food,
:10:20. > :10:25.but debt advice, finance advice, cooking from scratch. Where the
:10:26. > :10:31.community can respond we are able to give this additional advice which
:10:32. > :10:35.will ensure people come fewer times because there are immediate crisis
:10:36. > :10:41.is addressed through the food but their debt is addressed. Hopefully
:10:42. > :10:49.people will come less. The trust will trust is working towards that.
:10:50. > :10:51.Everyone would agree you do a great job and help a lot of people, thank
:10:52. > :10:52.you. And as we mentioned a moment ago,
:10:53. > :10:55.Ken Loach explores the issue of foodbanks in No Place Like Home,

:15:24. > :15:26.its short of staff. There is a massive shortage of young
:15:27. > :15:30.people in the construction industry, and that is why we need

:15:37. > :15:41.of builders, they've Taking students to see
:15:42. > :15:46.what the job is like. We do need to change the perception
:15:47. > :15:55.the industry does not pay As a qualified tradesman on-site
:15:56. > :16:00.very skilled you could I think that would add a little more
:16:01. > :16:15.interest to it definitely. If you do it long enough you can get
:16:16. > :16:19.up to 60 grand which is a lot more That's myth one sorted,
:16:20. > :16:23.the pay's not bad. Myth two, it's all dirty
:16:24. > :16:25.work on a building site. We need architects, quantity

:17:27. > :17:32.a great career, make lots of money, have fun. It is not as they think it
:17:33. > :17:38.is, let us stop the prejudices. It is often the first industry hit
:17:39. > :17:43.by recession, job scope is it a risky job?
:17:44. > :17:48.There are so many variety of jobs, PR, construction, there is enough
:17:49. > :17:52.opportunity which will go into the foreseeable future, it is a good
:17:53. > :17:56.career to get into. Well, these people certainly think
:17:57. > :17:58.it is a great industry. Let us see what they make of it in the school.
:17:59. > :18:00.Thank you. It started with a simple
:18:01. > :18:02.admission of a phobia. Our colleague Ali Vowles told
:18:03. > :18:04.everyone on the radio Paralympic champion swimmer
:18:05. > :18:07.Stephanie Millward heard about it So today, at Bath Leisure Centre,
:18:08. > :18:11.Ali had her first lesson, Filled with nerves, Ali Vowles
:18:12. > :18:27.stepped out to face her fears. Alongside multiple medal
:18:28. > :18:36.winner Stephanie Millward. I can't deny I am feeling really at
:18:37. > :18:41.shows. I know I have Stephanie Meadow me but I am feeling really
:18:42. > :18:46.scared. As soon as you get me into the deep and I will start to panic.
:18:47. > :18:50.I know how much I love swimming and I know how much she wants to love
:18:51. > :18:52.swimming. We can work together. She is being really positive that she
:18:53. > :18:54.can do anything. When Ali
:18:55. > :18:56.was a little girl, she was told to jump straight in the deep end
:18:57. > :18:59.to learn to swim. After being rescued
:19:00. > :19:00.from nearly drowning, It was when she told
:19:01. > :19:03.BBC Wiltshire listeners during her morning radio show,
:19:04. > :19:14.that Stephanie called If you let me teach you how to swim,
:19:15. > :19:18.we would walk around the pool to make sure you haven't got a fear of
:19:19. > :19:21.water, then move into swimming very slowly.
:19:22. > :19:21.Are you offering to teach me to swim?
:19:22. > :19:22.Definitely. Ali went slowly, from learning
:19:23. > :19:27.to float in the shallow end, from clinging on to the side to
:19:28. > :19:46.successfully swimming half a length. Do you know what? That felt amazing.
:19:47. > :19:51.I really didn't think I could do that. I haven't done a whole length
:19:52. > :19:55.but I have done half a length. The last times I did it, it really felt
:19:56. > :20:00.as if something had clicked. In the beginning she was very
:20:01. > :20:02.nervous but we defeated it. We got the confidence back again and her
:20:03. > :20:22.hot one. -- her heart one over. You have to face your fears.
:20:23. > :20:25.It is so encouraging. And not frightened of water anymore which
:20:26. > :20:32.means she can have a bath! Will love you! -- she will love you.
:20:33. > :20:34.Gloucester Rugby Club have appointed the former South Africa
:20:35. > :20:36.international Johan Ackermann as their new head coach.
:20:37. > :20:38.He'll join them in the summer ahead of next season.
:20:39. > :20:41.Our sports editor Alistair Durden is here to tell us more about him.
:20:42. > :20:44.He's got a very good reputation in South Africa.
:20:45. > :20:57.And was part of their World Cup winning squad in 2007.
:20:58. > :21:01.He's currently head coach at the Super Rugby side Lions,
:21:02. > :21:04.leading them to the grand final last season.
:21:05. > :21:09.rugby's Coach Of The Year for the last three seasons.
:21:10. > :21:11.He'll replace Laurie Fisher who stood down last month,
:21:12. > :21:13.and he's been telling the South African media
:21:14. > :21:31.It wasn't just a one-day thing, it was quite a long time.
:21:32. > :21:34.But it was a rugby decision to get better as a coach
:21:35. > :21:36.and experience something different, new competitions.
:21:37. > :21:39.And you never know, maybe one day I can put that experience
:21:40. > :21:43.Well, the South African rugby journalist Brenden Nel told me
:21:44. > :21:45.a little earlier that Gloucester have got themselves one
:21:46. > :21:56.Incredibly highly rated, yes, and a very nice guy as well.
:21:57. > :22:00.They talk about him being a father figure to them as well.
:22:01. > :22:03.We haven't had a couple of good seasons here in South Africa
:22:04. > :22:07.and he's the one breath of fresh air in South African rugby and touted
:22:08. > :22:16.What style of rugby do his teams like to play?
:22:17. > :22:19.They scored the most tries of any South African team last year,
:22:20. > :22:21.really great, entertaining rugby and fast paced rugby.
:22:22. > :22:25.I would see him bringing the same sort of thing to Gloucester
:22:26. > :22:28.and probably looking for the same sort of players if he's
:22:29. > :22:31.Before Johan Ackermann arrives, Gloucester still have the chance
:22:32. > :22:35.After beating Cardiff on Saturday, they'll be away to French
:22:36. > :22:37.league leaders La Rochelle in the semifinals of
:22:38. > :22:40.And it's also France against the West Country
:22:41. > :22:47.in the other tie, as Bath head to Paris to play Stade Francais.
:22:48. > :22:49.On Friday, we told you about Heather Fell,
:22:50. > :22:52.the former Olympic silver medallist, who was taking on the Ironman
:22:53. > :23:03.I'm pleased to report that Heather finished second in her category.
:23:04. > :23:04.She completed the two-and-a-half-mile swim, 112-mile
