Recently BBC1 produced a documentary about the growing need and work of the Foodbank in Dundee. Living and working in Dundee as a student for the past 4 years as well as having placement experiences in schools in different areas, I found this quite a shocking but interesting watch. It was good to see how the service is run and who they are helping however it was difficult to comprehend that in such a wealthy nation, individuals are experiencing such horrible times.
I have attached a document which explains the Foodbank and some interesting points which were made throughout the programme –
The programme can be watched on BBC iPlayer however the links says it is only available until Saturday 7th November 2015 (30 days after being aired) and can be accessed at –
