I am sure it will continue”. Since the beginning of 2012 The Banbury foodbank has been providing food to families in crisis in the Banbury community.

Trussell Trust foodbanks provide a minimum of three days emergency food and support to people experiencing crisis in the UK. Fortress Technology (Europe) Ltd began manufacturing at their Banbury site in 2011, going from 12 to now almost 30 employees and supplying over 1500 UK built Phantom and Stealth metal detectors both in the UK and overseas, for use in a variety of industrial applications.
