#Bildeston is not *that* near #Ipswich - its a good half hour drive from the town, an hours bike ride if you are fit/brave enough (maybe 45 minutes on an e-bike?) and has little public transport.
It only has a population of around 1100.
If 110 families are being helped by the #foodbank, assuming the average UK family size of 2,36 - thats 260 people so *24%* of the village population are having to make use of it.
This is a significant level of #RuralPoverty, approaching that of the same village in the late 1600s, when 33% of the population were in the village #workhouse
