The government has announced that all children from families receiving Universal Credit will now be eligible for free school meals. This is down to people like you using your voices to call for change. Call on our MP to go further: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/guar… #Cambridge #Foodbank

I will be strongly opposing the Government’s proposals on these benefits cuts, as well as continuing to work with local organisations and charities to get their voices heard and push for an end to poverty. Thank you, Cambridge City Foodbank, for all that you do.
