❌ We NEVER want to see a sign like this ever again. ❌

The next government has the power to make that happen.

They can end the need for food banks.

[Laura Chalmers @LauraChalmersTT]

On 26th June @YorkFoodbank are inviting you to come together alongside York's parliamentary candidates & the public to use our voice to call for the change that will build a future where no one needs to turn to a foodbank.
Will you join us?

Yet, 3.1 MILLION food parcels were provided by our food banks last year…

We’re seeing people going without food, heating, toiletries and the very things they need to survive.

We need a compassionate government that acts to end hunger in the UK. 💚

It was fab to be at the #dignityforall conference in York today.
I met the wonderful @StefBenstead whose books about the treatment of disabled people in Britain and the role of the Church in making policy change are vital read.

So lovely to join @WBYFoodbank on their 10th anniversary, looking back over how far they’ve come and what the future might hold. #trusselltrust

A general election called just one week after @TrussellTrust announced having to provide the highest number of food parcels ever.

In the campaign we need to hear what political parties are going to do to turn the tide.

[Laura Chalmers @LauraChalmersTT]

I had the privilege of joining @foodbankBD this evening, looking at the work they’ve been doing & thanking their supporters. The stats speak for themselves, such incredible work! They wrap themselves around people with support at a time they need it the most 💚

"No amount of food surplus redistribution is going to stop hunger from happening and pretending otherwise risks covering up the actual cause of food poverty: lack of income." @sabineegoodwin writes for @BigIssue on the #CoronationFoodProject #CashFirst

Prepping for a workshop tomorrow looking at how the findings from our #hungerintheuk report impacts the work we are doing on the ground. What does this mean for the shape and direction of our foodbank services?

Destitution is when you can't stay warm and dry, you don't know where you will find your next meal.
3.8 million people in the UK experienced destitution last year - including 1 million children - a 61% rise since 2019.
Truly shocking - analysis from @jrf_uk ⬇️
