We were delighted to host Wandsworth Council Money Advice Roadshow at St Mark's Church, Battersea Rise recently. It was great to welcome local people looking for advice, and the lovely advisers, and to help bring money advice and support into the local community. wandsworth.gov.uk/news/news-june…

9.3 million people are facing hunger and hardship in the UK. So tomorrow we’re joining @trusselluk, Joseph Rowntree Foundation and 100s of people in Parliament to call on MPs to act. The Government must commit to an #EssentialsGuarantee = to a future where everyone can afford the essentials.

📣 NEW: Millions of people are turning to food banks because Universal Credit is falling short. And now the UK government is voting on brutal cuts to disability support. We’re in Parliament today to urge MPs to ACT on hunger and hardship.

Hunger and hardship are already at record levels, and planned cuts to social security risk pushing even more people to food banks. That's why we're joining Trussell, JRF and 100s of people in Parliament today to call on MPs to Guarantee our Essentials. #EssentialsGuarantee

🗣️ "It's common sense, and it's part of making our social security system fit for purpose." Nish Kumar addresses an audience of people from across the UK at our Guarantee our Essentials lobby day with Trussell. A future where everyone can afford the essentials is possible.

Hunger and hardship pushes up public service costs alone by ÂŁ13.7 BILLION. Now MPs are being asked to vote for new the Universal Credit and PIP Bill. A Bill that will drive up hunger and hardship and undermine the government's promise to end the need for emergency food.

When 86% of households on Universal Credit are going without essentials, we need urgent action on hardship. Thanks so much to Marsha de Cordova for meeting us in Parliament yesterday to talk together about a future where no one needs a food bank to get by. #EssentialsGuarantee

A warm welcome & a cup of tea together are the first things available when people are referred in hardship to our foodbank. It can help people feel they're not alone, build trust, and help people access further support, eg our Foodbank Advice Project 🙌 wandsworth.foodbank.org.uk/about/foodbank…

Our social security system should be there for us all -when we need it most. But the UK government has proposed huge cuts to disabled people's support, going through Parliament now. Will you join us and ask your MP to vote against these cuts? wandsworth.foodbank.org.uk/2025/06/26/act…

❗️ The changes the UK government has announced will help protect some disabled people. BUT we need to make sure support is there for disabled people who will need it in the future. Being disabled isn’t a choice. Everyone should be supported when they need it.

2 in 3 people we help are disabled or have a longterm health condition. 3 in 10 are carers for disabled family members. It's already difficult: cuts to disability support will make hardship even worse. Join us now & ask your MP to say no to the cuts. action.trussell.org.uk/votenoagainstc…
