@HeinzUK why do your tins not stack like everyone else's ? It is not helpful for foodbanks with limited storage space.

“We are struggling to keep up with the demand. Every day I hear the level of distress people are in. Every day I talk to scared families who don’t know where to turn. But we can’t do more than we are already doing.” ⁦@oxfordmutualaid⁩ ⁦#CashFirst https://t.co/oA7CeWvz7A

@Food_Foundation We'd reiterate that energy costs for cooking can be substantial. After the increased #energyprice cap, we've worked out that:

- 1 hour on an average electric hob is about 42p (£153 a year)
- 45 minutes in an electric oven is about 44p (£161 a year)

This week MP Lee Anderson made comments blaming high levels of food bank use on a lack of cooking and budgeting skills. He claimed a nutritious meal could easily be cooked for 30p. Was he right?

Food banks in our network are reaching breaking point and cannot possibly be expected to cope with unprecedented demand just as their operations are impacted by decreasing donations, rising costs and volunteer exhaustion.

The alarming rise in food insecurity reported by @Food_Foundation will mean many more people are forced to turn to food banks for support
