How would you feel if your income was suddenly cut by a fifth? The UK govt is planning to cut #UniversalCredit by Ā£20 a week – we're concerned this will mean even more people need a #foodbank. Please write to your MP & ask them to help #KeepTheLifeline bit.ly/3AfFtNh

The £20 cut to #UniversalCredit this October is the biggest cut to social security since WWII. We need YOU to add your voice to the campaign to stop this. Why not join @TrussellTrust for Come Together to Keep the Lifeline on 8 Sept at 7pm? Register here: register.enthuse.com/ps/event/KTL

We're disappointed that today’s attempts to force a vote on the Ā£20 cut to #UniversalCredit due for October have been unsuccessful. But it’s still not too late for the UK government to #KeepTheLifeline It will never be right that people don’t have enough to afford the basics.

It's 10 years since I opened Vale Foodbank. Since then 36,590 food parcels have been given to local people in crisis. I can't believe we're still needed & if the UK Gov cuts #UniversalCredit next week things will be even worse for people. It's heartbreaking #KeepTheLifeline

We opened our doors 10 years ago & thanks to our amazing team & incredible supporters we've provided 36,590 food parcels. But no-one should need to rely on our help & if the UK Gov cuts #UniversalCredit next week, things will be even worse. Rishi Sunak please #KeepTheLifeline

Today we marked 10 years since opening. Thanks to our wonderful volunteers & to all who donate so generously, we've provided 36,000 food parcels. We hope we're not still needed in another 10 years but as long as people don't have enough money for food. we'll be here for them.

The Chancellor has delivered a devastating blow to the majority of people who need support from #foodbanks. Today Rishi Sunak made a choice & it leaves people facing impossible decisions between heating or eating. There’s no 'age of optimism' for people on the very lowest incomes

At times some people simply can’t work because of disability, illness or carer responsibilities. The headline UC taper cut doesn’t help them. Rising costs leave them facing impossible choices between heating & eating. Rishi Sunak there’s no ā€˜age of optimism’ for them.

Across the UK, people are struggling with impossible decisions this winter. Pay the rent or buy food? Think this is unacceptable? Take action and help the Trussell Trust in the fight against hunger bit.ly/3wlnqF3

With the cost of living crisis driving increases in the number of people needing to turn to food banks we are hearing that need is outstripping donations
