Only during the cold weather? Summer rough sleeping is fine?

[Barnet Homes @BarnetHomes]

The Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) has been activated in Barnet to ensure that no one needs to sleep rough in Barnet during the cold weather.

[Right To Food Barnet @BarnetFood]

This is great news. A positive step towards universal free school meals for ALL ages as standard!

[No Child Left Behind @NoChildBehindUK]

🚨 BREAKING 🚨: @SadiqKhan extends London's #FreeSchoolMealsForAll scheme.

🍲 Free School Meals will be available to every child at a state funded primary school in London during the 2024-25 school year.

✅ That's 287,000 children eating, learning and growing together.

⚠️ It was disappointing to hear so little mention of the impact of the #CostOfLivingCrisis in today's #AutumnStatement

Rates of #foodinsecurity in households with children have doubled and in the last 18 months alone food prices have increased by 25%.

Nearly eight-in-ten food banks saw demand for their services increase comparing August to October 2023 with the same period last year – yet 73% saw donations drop. #cashfirst https://t.co/Iz45Bv5T7Y

This is GREAT news. 👏

[lan Byrne MP @IanByrneMP]

Read the full Government response to @CommonsEFRA report on ‘Food Security’. I’m delighted we will now be inviting @MichaelFakhri, UN Special Rapporteur on a Right to Food, to the UK to report on what a RTF could look like.

"A food parcel cannot stop hunger from happening in the first place. While food banks have scrambled to help as many people as possible, destitution figures have more than doubled in five years." @sabineegoodwin @mariaammarshall @guardianletters #CashFirst

[Right To Food Barnet @BarnetFood]

Not only that, but low-paid predominantly black workers lost their jobs in this fiasco. Are they being re-employed? It's a classic case of a council deflecting responsibility and not offering an alternative, which could have saved both meal provision and jobs. @barnet_unison

[Right To Food Barnet @BarnetFood]

It's shameful that the Charity sector, which is reliant on private funders has to pick up the pieces, especially given the Mayor of London committed to fund meals for every child this year... something isn't right. #RightToFood @Rene_Cassin https://t.co/CRresKCUsZ

[The Green New Deal Group @greennewdealgrp]

It's Right to Food Week. We should all be able to access healthy, affordable food - but our current food system is leaving people hungry, damaging our health, exploiting workers, and driving climate breakdown. Time for a #GreenNewDeal #RightToFood
