📚 It's almost back to #school time!

Having to buy a new school #uniform every few years is just not financially possible for many families, so we've awarded grants to fantastic #charities like @edi_little and @F4FSev who are supporting those struggling with this cost. #Charity

[Friends For Families @F4FSev]

@Masonic_Charity @edi_little We've been spending your grant on exactly this right now. In recent weeks we've provided school uniform for children from several disadvantaged families, including ones that are domestic abuse survivors starting again in new homes and schools, thanks to you.

@CitrusDavid A huge thank you to you all for your support with our Christmas Appeal! This year, more than ever, there are a lot of children to provide for and we're very grateful for your help.

We're very grateful to @ManakSolicitors for their support with this fundraising event for a second year. As a small charity embedded in our local community, the generosity of local businesses like Manak is vital to us.

Fears of widespread child hunger spark calls for universal free school meals in UK https://t.co/wXYm5UmwcE

Wow, quite a response from Asda. We're trying to buy food for vulnerable families but their website's glitching. Will they help us? No - they say to just keep trying online in the hope that the website problem gets fixed!

[Friends For Families @F4FSev]

@AsdaServiceTeam I would really appreciate a reply to my DM: it's not the first time we've had problems with your website + your customer service response is once again not helpful. We're trying to feed vulnerable families, please don't make it so difficult!

[Child Poverty Action Group @CPAGUK]

In light of the new energy price cap estimates, @ProfJBradshaw and Antonia Keung have updated their modelling and added other thresholds. In January, they estimate that 11.7% of households will be spending MORE THAN 30% of their net income on fuel. https://t.co/92cwZwx8Fb

[Friends For Families @F4FSev]

@BritishGasHelp The account is open, I can assure you. I will DM you the account number but I hope you will investigate why your customer service operatives are giving inaccurate information and obstructing third party payment.

[Friends For Families @F4FSev]

@BritishGasHelp we sometimes help struggling families by paying into their energy account by phone. Never had a problem with any company until today, when you told me the client has been migrated onto a new system and third party payment is no longer possible. Really?
