Paragraph: 59
Severe hardship and increased food bank reliance evident in remote rural Scottish communities.
Conclusion
We are deeply concerned by the real hardship being experienced across many rural communities in Scotland, such as parents having to skip meals in order feed their children. Food banks provide a vital service in remote rural Scotland. There has been a significant increase in demand for their services with a record number of food parcels delivered over the past year.
