Penny Church

I'm living in South London, best place on the world, with my family. Currently co-manage Lambeth Foodbanks partnership so my life is never dull...or quiet.

@kirby_pj Enjoy the walk; Bernard will be a great pull! Which route are you doing?

[Penny Church @PennyChrch]

@kirby_pj Can Dennis and myself help/ bring something?

[Penny Church @PennyChrch]

@kirby_pj So sorry, PJ

The UK Two Child Limit currently harms 48,300 children in NI. MLAs from all major parties stood firmly with Trussell, @SCUKNI & the Faith &CVS. Together, we send a message to the UK Chancellor that nothing short of a full removal of the 2CL is acceptable.#scrapthe2CL

In the last 5 years...
🔥 Gas has risen by 67%
🥫 Food by 37%
⚡ Electric by 51%

But average earnings have risen by JUST 34%.

🍝It's #WorldPastaDay so today we're celebrating the cupboard hero - filling, versatile and loved by everyone. Check the free BanktheFood app to see if your local food bank needs Pasta to meet growing demand. Nothing is im-pastable when we work together! 💚

Whatever your views about her politics Erika Kirk spoke the Christian message of love and forgiveness whereas Trump continues to preach hatred, division and lies.

[Lord Ashcroft @LordAshcroft]

For every retweet of this post, I will donate £1 to the @VC_and_GC_Assoc up to £50,000.
Time is running out following @I_W_M’s decision to close the Lord Ashcroft Gallery.
Visit while you still can, to honour the bravery of those who risked so much to protect our great nation.

❗The price of food has risen by a THIRD in the last 5 years.

At the same time bills and rent soar. How is anyone supposed to live like this?

[Penny Church @PennyChrch]

@Nik_Simon88 You couldn't make it up... !

[Kirstie Allsopp @KirstieMAllsopp]

Why say nothing? Because you feel, in no particular order, embarrassed, a prude, shocked, waiting for a male colleague to call him out, not wanting to “rock the boat”, thinking it’s better to plough on with the day, assuming you misheard/misunderstood or just don’t get the joke.

[Brixton Foodbank @BrixtonFoodbank]

Can you help? We need volunteers for our Christmas donation drive @Tesco stores around South London.

If you can spare 2 hours to help us collect donations in one of the stores on 28th, 29th or 30th November please get in touch with us [email protected]

[Brixton Foodbank @BrixtonFoodbank]

Here's another super easy way to donate to us and help the increasing number of people in our local community experiencing food poverty today.

[Lambeth and Croydon Foodbank @foodbankNorwood]

Giving 2 hours means we can feed those who have no food and in crisis.

"There is a good chance that in ten days’ time, Americans will elect the first fascist president of the United States. It sounds hyperbolic...But the hour is late...It’s time to spell out what Trump has said and done, what he threatens to do, what he is." https://t.co/JLb5qadnnE

We have a small favour to ask.
The food banks tell us that our free app is making a real difference to their work.
But we want to do more.
Create more donations.
Make more of a difference.
Could we ask you to share & retweet our message again?
We just can't do this without you.💚

[Brixton Foodbank @BrixtonFoodbank]

Our Top 5 most needed items this week are:

Also there's been an upsurge in demand for tin openers.

Community Food Banks need support now more than ever. 

Here are five ways you can help. Thank you!

[Steve Chalke @SteveChalke]

What a great move for Labour to appoint James Timpson @JamesTCobbler as Minister for Prisons & prison reform. He’s the man! What we’ve got doesn’t work. It’s overcrowded & reoffending rates are damning & dangerous. Instead of a penal system, it’s time for one that’s restorative!

[Brixton Foodbank @BrixtonFoodbank]

We will always add a treat into our emergency food parcels when we can but our donations are down just now so we often have to leave these items out.

If you can donate some nice treats to us we'd be very grateful.

Here's where you can donate: https://t.co/5Nn5AwpOhD
