How Trussell Drove Societal Change with Acquia and Manifesto

Trussell, alongside long-time partner manifesto and Acquia, has revolutionized its efforts to combat hunger and poverty across the UK through the power of digital transformation. By reshaping their digital presence, they’ve created accessible, supportive, and scalable solutions that empower their network of over 1,200 food banks to provide emergency food and practical guidance to those in need. Leveraging modern technology, including flexible templates and enhanced user journeys, the partnership ensures that individuals can easily connect with essential resources, regardless of their location or circumstances.

This initiative has not only streamlined website management for food banks—with integration of real-time updates and data-driven insights—but also redefined how digital platforms can build trust and reduce stress for users navigating crisis moments. With more than 3.1 million food parcels distributed annually and new donation systems introduced, this collaboration showcases a concrete commitment to eradicating hunger and fostering long-term societal change. Explore this innovative vision where technology meets compassion, driving meaningful results for communities at their most vulnerable moments.
