Pipster has selected Hannah Thorne’s proposed charity as its Charity of the Year 2025.

Trussell is a nationwide anti-poverty charity and community of food banks, did you know that one in seven people in the UK are facing hunger? Trussell will not stop until everyone has enough money for the essentials, and the distribution of emergency food can end for good.

It breaks our hearts every time we hear about how many families rely on community foodbanks. In 2023/24, Hannah’s local foodbank in Dorset fed 2,942 people in the local area, including 1,130 children. That’s just in her town alone which only has a population of 11,968. That’s nearly 25% of the whole town! Her son attends the local high school which has approximately 1,700 pupils. It’s remarkable to think that a vast proportion of them will be relying on food banks either short or long-term.
