The Government must take urgent action now to prevent devastating consequences. More and more people have been struggling to afford food and fuel for years. Overwhelmed food aid providers cannot be expected to cope with a growing tsunami of need #CashFirst https://t.co/JHkApsi876

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

The first line of defence is now food banks not the welfare state.
But the scale of poverty facing us is so huge that we cannot rely on charities. Those who have little have given generously to those who have nothing but raising money becomes harder as the cost of living bites.

[Real Aid @realaid]

We have run a foodbank since 2009, it was supposed to be a short time project. Today, our foodbank and helping vulnerable families is our main priority.

[Real Aid @realaid]

Coming to a foodbank is never an easy thing to do, now people need meals that require limited/zero energy usage, foodbanks can't afford their own running costs, people who previously could donate to food banks are now struggling themselves.

It is deeply disappointing that despite the warnings of so many the Chancellor has decided to ignore the deepening poverty crisis in Britain. People who rely on #UniversalCredit are facing a second real-terms cut in 6 months as the #CostOfLiving crisis takes hold. Benefits should

Today millions of people across the UK will be impacted by the biggest ever cut to social security and the need for emergency food aid has inevitably started to increase as a result.

We urge to the Government to reinstate the £20 to Universal Credit and Working Tax Credit and to
