Be ambitious for the disadvantaged. Open the doors to food, warmth & at least good education. Avoid missed chances; Use Early Help & maths to avoid poverty.

Can you solve this maths problem, which is used as an online lesson warm up for TAM & TMUA students. The solution is provided in a tweet posted earlier on 14th November? @Advanced_Maths @MEIMaths @NCETM

[Dr Antony Edkins @AntonyEdkins]

Thank you from me too, to @CEOSalfordCVS @CEOSalfordCVS . 5 years ago, the SFinMP food hub was just a dream. Today, SFinMP supports 4k families a year with weekly food bags, & in 2025 has worked with the community to create a fully funded community library.

[Baroness Keeley of Worsley (also on BlueSky) @KeeleyMP]

Many thanks to @SalfordCVS #Salfordstories for match funding our Community Library for the Salford Families in Need Meals project.
Thanks to @AntonyEdkins for leading this work & to Lee & Claire at @BartonMossCPS & my niece Emma for her advice. It's great to have this library

[Dr Antony Edkins @AntonyEdkins]

Thank you @CEOSalfordCVS #SalfordStories for the grant which match funded the cost of creating a community library at the Barton Moss Primary School, Salford. A safe space for young people to read with their parents when they want to.

[Dr Antony Edkins @AntonyEdkins]

Our Salford Families in need Project team is truly humbled by @KeeleyMP mention. Thank you. There was joy in giving & receiving, in all kinds of weather. We also asked a lot of @TeamTBBT, too. Thank you. As a result, we helped 392 families in need over the 4 weeks of Christmas.

[Baroness Keeley of Worsley (also on BlueSky) @KeeleyMP]

Families are struggling to afford to cook let alone buy food.

I called on the Govt to recognise the work of excellent projects like the Salford Families in Need Meals Project in my constituency run by @AntonyEdkins, Julie Larkinson @BartonMossCPS, @TeamTBBT & great volunteers.

[Baroness Keeley of Worsley (also on BlueSky) @KeeleyMP]

Great news that the Carols Service organised by LifeChurch Eccles at Eccles Town Hall raised £690 for our food distribution charity Salford Families in Need Meals Project.

Thanks to Derek Hughes, @MAPAS1 Community Choir and to Eccles Town Hall for hosting the service #eccles

[Baroness Keeley of Worsley (also on BlueSky) @KeeleyMP]

Great to be with our wonderful SFinMP volunteers and the wonderful Imogen from @TeamTBBT packing & distributing food for Christmas week at @BartonMossCPS today.
We packed more than 120 sets of food & thanks to Julie Larkinson & @marksandspencer Bolton for the children’s gifts

[Dr Antony Edkins @AntonyEdkins]

In Jan 2021, raising £30k+ for a food hub for life for families in need seemed a dream. We stuck at it, raised the £’s, made new friends & renewed others - knowing there’s much more to do @KeeleyMP @MarsdentTom @mrsunsworth35 JulieLarkinson Eccles Rotary @RLong_Bailey @TeamTBBT

[Baroness Keeley of Worsley (also on BlueSky) @KeeleyMP]

It was good to be at the affordable food distribution hub at Barton Moss Primary School with Colin Huggett, Antony Edkins, Julie Larkinson & volunteers from Eccles Rotary. Thanks to Eccles Rotary for 2 cheques for the project.

#CostOfLiving crisis is forcing more people in #WorsleyandEcclesSouth to choose - heat OR eat

@TeamTBBT supports the Salford Families in Need Meals Project @AntonyEdkins which helps struggling households with affordable food - bridging the gap so that families can heat AND eat

[Dr Antony Edkins @AntonyEdkins]

Yesterday, in my 1-2-1 w/ Ian Tustian, link HMI, who also does maths, we shared maths problems. His to me was 'Find 3 pairs of consecutive numbers less than 100, both of which have exactly six different factors.' Pls share your approach to solve this problem...
