We have @ArtsWellCIC leading a fun activity to make sure all neurotypes feel heard & included at our event. Plus it's really good FUN. While we find solutions to the #CostOfLiving difficulties, we can build connection and make change. Join us https://t.co/nUOisomd06 @CornwallVSF

Simon Fann, from @TruroFoodbank has been driving change for those he sees using food banks, for some time. He shares his insights and discusses, what we can do, aside from just giving out more food. Come to our #ChallengePovertyWeek event to share action https://t.co/nUOisolFay

October has #ChallengePovertyWeek Monday 16 - Sunday 23. Throughout, we are encouraging organisations who feed communities to share this year's banner. Together with colleagues, we've arranged for supporters of the campaign from @CornwallCouncil to visit https://t.co/fLyvEmYzFr

[Cornwall VSF @CornwallVSF]

As part of the collaborative work on #ChallengePovertyWeek this year, we're coordinating an event with partners. It's important to ensure that the voice of Lived Experience is part of the event, & includes young people's voice. @weareCN4C bring poets.

We know that real change happens when we work together: as a sector, or even as a community. That's why our partnership with @EndHungerCwll, @MotherIveysBay, @TruroFoodbank, @NewquayFoodbank, @CornwallCouncil and more seeks cross sector support https://t.co/9RnB6yAlsI

Is anything going to change? No. Not at all.
Have I had my say? Absolutely.
It turns out there’s lots about Cornwall that needed addressing… who knew… More to follow, but grateful for the opportunity.

[Sabine Goodwin @sabineegoodwin]

This data re 12 months up to March 2022. Food insecurity and the need for food banks is far worse now. It’s critical to point out that 3% of people reported severe food insecurity using the 30-day measure but 86% did not use a food bank ⁦@IFAN_UK⁩ https://t.co/m6eMpBhel9

[End Hunger Cornwall @EndHungerCwll]

Whilst the news media obsesses over the opinion of one single sports presenter, the government are going totally under the radar on criminally high and unfair energy prices and devastating food poverty. Don’t be distracted and push every food poverty story you can….

The ‘official’ figures are up 25%. I’m pretty sure the ‘real’ figure is vastly bigger. 🤔 People simply can’t afford to eat, heat or rent.
I know, let’s talk about Rishi’s Brexit success instead 🤬 https://t.co/uahnEqAjtX

Pasta price doubles to 95p as cost of basics rises - and still our government can’t work out, understand or acknowledge that people are going hungry. It’s not rocket science! https://t.co/pk3oYq2XDD
