Monday's announcement from @NicolaSturgeon will make such a difference for so many of the families we work with at CAP. It will mean being able to turn on the heating and buy fresh fruit and vegetables for young children.

Change can happen when we all work together.

The latest #UniversalCredit figures, released today, show nearly 6 million people were hit by the £20/wk cut which came into force in Oct. The most recent data shows almost 3.5 million are not in employment, meaning they won’t benefit from the govt’s reduction to the taper rate.

Visiting a @Tesco Express store today? Why not pick up a few extra items and donate them to your local food bank so they can support people in crisis this Christmas, because #EveryCanHelps. Find your local Express store 👉 https://t.co/0Rt3uYoBTi

“I can’t afford to get my children new winter coats”. This is the reality for many in the UK struggling to just afford the basics this winter. We believe this isn’t right. Agree? Join us in the fight against hunger this winter 👉 https://t.co/iMT4U4Lunf

✨We had some fantastic visitors come along to our open day as we showed them around the warehouse and office space.

Imagine if there was a hub in every local community, where a young person can drop in and get support with their mental health immediately. No appointment or GP referral needed. Early support like this could benefit hundreds of thousands of lives.

"I need to feed my kids, so the kids are the priority for food, which means I probably won't be able to put the heating on"

Cuts and freezes to our levels of social security have left families unable to meet their everyday needs. We must #KeepTheLifeline
