Following the absence of any energy bill support for households this winter in the Autumn Statement, our communities will be forced to turn to our Food Bank Services for support. This is not right. #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay #guarenteetheessentials National Energy Action

📰 Didn’t they see the news? It's been a week since the general election was called, yet no parties have mentioned tackling hunger and hardship in the UK. This general election MUST be the one where all parties lay out the steps they’ll take to end the need for food banks. 💚

🗳️ The General Election is less than a month away. Yet no political party has mentioned their plan for tackling rising hunger and hardship in the UK, even after last night’s debate… #GeneralElection

❌ We NEVER want to see a sign like this ever again. ❌ The next government has the power to make that happen. They can end the need for food banks.

Evidence of the deep harm caused by the two-child limit - and of the benefits of abolishing this damaging policy - is mounting. Keeping this policy will only make things worse for struggling families & increase societal costs in the long run. 🧵 theguardian.com/society/articl…

We know food banks are not a long-term solution to hunger, because hunger is not a food problem. It's an income problem. That's why we work with communities across the UK for a more just and compassionate society where no one needs a food bank to survive.

While this is good news, the government need to ensure that breakfast clubs are coupled with access to advice provision (such as debt and benefit help) so that low-income households can maximise their financial resources and get the help they need 👇 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

More and more, the story we hear in our foodbank sessions is that people just can’t make ends meet. It’s heartbreaking to read these testimonies from people who are struggling to afford the essentials like food, energy bills and clothes.

❗️Sky-high rents and insecure housing pushes people to food banks. Yesterday, the #RentersRightsBill took a step closer to becoming law, helping to make renting more secure. But to keep more people from being pushed into hardship, the UK government must also make sure Local

Carers should never have to worry about whether they can afford food on top of everything else 💔 When we face tough times, our social security system should provide just that - security.

A shocking but unsurprising report on #temporaryaccomodation. We support many families staying in local HMOs and BnBs. Not only are they unsafe but we’ve seen receipts at some hotels charging up to £2k per month for a family’s room. theguardian.com/society/2025/a…
