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.








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


1 in 5 people claiming Universal Credit and disability payments have used a food bank in the last month. Thank you Fleur Anderson MP for meeting us in Parliament yesterday to talk together about a future where everyone can have enough income for essentials. #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…
