These words, spoken at the UN Security Council, are a powerful reminder that hunger is never simply about a lack of food.
We may not be able to solve every cause of hunger ourselves, but we can help someone who is facing it today.

You probably know someone who is struggling financially...
You might just not know that they're struggling.
So let's stop making assumptions about who "should" need a food bank, and start making sure that anyone who does need one can access that support without shame π
Having a job should mean being able to afford the essentials, but increasingly, that's not the reality for many people across the UK.
People doing everything they're told they should do, but still not able to make ends meet.
