We’re working towards a future where no one needs a food bank. This isn’t an easy task, but we know what needs to be done. Take a look at the steps we need to see to end hunger in the UK. ⤵️💚
“As has been long pointed out – life costs more for disabled people.” 💷 @Sumi_RabindraK head of policy @TrussellTrust (the UK's largest food bank network) argues the government is taking the wrong approach in trying to boost the economy. 📈 Read on. ⬇️ bigissue.com/opinion/dwp-di…
Every child should get to enjoy a birthday cake. 🎂💚 But for some families, this is an expense they just can't afford. So @norwichfoodbank are going above and beyond to make sure families facing hardship can still celebrate their children's birthdays with a slice of cake. ⤵️

🗣️ “I don’t know how I was living.” When Siobhan had to quit her job to care for her dad, they were both left with no income. They had to turn to a food bank just to survive. Listen to Siobhan share their story and what needs to change to build a better future. 💚
Nobody in the UK should have to go without food. We’re campaigning for long-term change to make sure everyone can afford life’s essentials. But until we get there, food banks are there to support people on the lowest incomes. Here’s how food banks work. 👇 💚
At food banks, much more than just milk and sugar goes into a cup of tea. Over a cuppa, volunteers take the time to chat to people and connect them up with advice and support. When people are going through a tough time, this support can make a big difference. 💚 #NationalTeaDay
No parent should have to worry about whether they can afford food for their child. Our social security system should be there to support us when times are tough. But right now, it’s falling short and leaving people like Lowri with no option but to turn to a food bank. ⤵️ 💚

More today on government thinking about overhauling social security support for disabled people. Their starting point should be: - 26% disabled people face hunger (x3 rate for non-disabled people). - 7/10 people referred to @TrussellTrust foodbanks are disabled. We see...1/6
Yes, disability benefits need reform. But threatening disabled people & making them even poorer will only deepen poverty, worsening the nation’s health & holding back our economy. 7/10 people referred to @TrussellTrust food banks are disabled. We need serious solutions.

Great work by @patrickjbutler highlighting this carers allowance scandal. @TrussellTrust response: Carers rewarded for their critical work by being forced into hardship, hunger and debt. A system that's neither compassionate nor just. It shames us all. x.com/helen_barnard/…
“Things are going quite badly wrong:" influential chair of commons welfare committee tells ministers to fix the failing carer's allowance benefit as concerns grow at treatment of unpaid carers theguardian.com/society/2024/a… by @JoshHalliday and me
...research found nearly 1/4 unpaid carers facing hunger (vs 12% of non-carers). Damage done by low level of carers allowance is compounded by flawed design, punishing carers who earn even £1 above low earnings limit by the loss of the entire allowance. Now government... 2/5
Totally support @stephenctimms calls for Government to urgently fix the flawed system pushing thousands of carers deeper into poverty. Unpaid carers play a critical role for loved ones & wider society, but we reward them with hunger, hardship and debt. @TrussellTrust ... 1/5
The DWP reveals it is pursuing 34,500 unpaid carers to make them pay back an average of £2000 of their benefits because they earned more than they were allowed. Sir Stephen Timms MP says urgent action is needed to prevent this happening. With @bbcdanw on @Moneybox noon @BBCRadio4

Unpaid carers continue to be disproportionately represented at our food banks and this will be the case until interventions like the carers allowance are fit for purpose.
.@CarersNI tells @NIA_Communities that “carers allowance isn’t fit for purpose”. @Craig7Harrison tells MLAs that unpaid carers have reported “making their own female sanitary products when they can’t afford to buy ones in the shop” & are skipping meals due to financial hardship
@TrussellTrust @redhotcook @norwichfoodbank This is lovely + will definitely make a lovely, positive difference. X
Kudos to @norwichfoodbank & @FreeCakesUK👏👏👏
Every child should get to enjoy a birthday cake. 🎂💚 But for some families, this is an expense they just can't afford. So @norwichfoodbank are going above and beyond to make sure families facing hardship can still celebrate their children's birthdays with a slice of cake. ⤵️
Coming soon... Ending Hunger with the @TrussellTrust We had the pleasure of speaking to Benefact Trust beneficiary, the Trussell Trust, for an eye-opening conversation on food poverty in the UK. Here’s a little teaser, but to watch the full episode, keep an eye-out next week👀
“As has been long pointed out – life costs more for disabled people.” 💷 @Sumi_RabindraK head of policy @TrussellTrust (the UK's largest food bank network) argues the government is taking the wrong approach in trying to boost the economy. 📈 Read on. ⬇️ bigissue.com/opinion/dwp-di…
Did you know... We love #PartnershipWorking & helping people beyond the crisis. A child's birthday cake can make a big difference to them & their parents who are struggling. That's why we love @FreeCakesUK and their local volunteer bakers 🧑🍳👨🍳👩🍳🎂
If you’re shopping this weekend and can afford an extra item or two, please donate to Wirral Foodbank. There are collection points in most major supermarkets and every donation makes a real difference. Thank you. @TrussellTrust @WirralFoodBank
