We know difficult it is to be in debt, especially right now. We are here to support you.

If you live in Lambeth and would like to speak to someone about debt in a safe and non-judgemental space, send a message to [email protected].

We'll listen, and we can help.

[Waterloo Foodbank @WaterlooFB]

Two great roles going at Waterloo Foodbank at the moment - the first one closes on Thursday morning!

[Oasis Waterloo @OasisWaterloo]

Come and work with us! We're looking for someone who will help us listen to local people's experience of accessing Foodbanks, and empower people to campaign for change.

Closing date is 9am on Thursday 29 February - please share! Find out more and apply at https://t.co/uxBZSiXgHM

[Marina Ahmad AM @LabourMarina]

So pleased to join Oasis Waterloo Community Hub and see the brilliant work they do to support local people.

During this difficult time, more and more people need these warm spaces, advice centres, food and clothes banks and community cafes.

Thank you for all you do.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

🧵 We live in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and yet people in the UK are going without the essentials we all need to get by.

We can’t always deal with what life throws at us on our own, and we need a system in place that supports us all. ⤵️

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

Nobody should dread getting their period because they don’t have enough money left over after buying food to buy tampons and pads.

Yet for many women, this is their monthly reality.

Essentials are not things we can cut back on, they’re the things we all need to survive. 💚

[Waterloo Foodbank @WaterlooFB]

We’re really proud of our amazing team who have delivered over 1,000 parcels this week, but as ever, longing and working for the day this response isn’t needed. Thank you to everyone who donated or volunteered!

[Lambeth and Croydon Foodbank @foodbankNorwood]

So we have packed and delivered 1030 parcels with last few going out door now. 27 tonnes food given away. How sad in 2022 we had to do this but thanks to amazing staff and volunteers for all your efforts over 5 days. @WaterlooFB @VauxhallFB @cpfoodbank @BrixtonFoodbank Well done

[Waterloo Foodbank @WaterlooFB]

We are in real need of blankets for our Christmas parcels, if you can help. Drop them or get them delivered to us this week 9-5, St Margaret the Queen, Barcombe Avenue, SW2 3BH

[Lambeth and Croydon Foodbank @foodbankNorwood]

Can you help we have run out of blankets and although the weather is a little warmer we have lots requests for blankets. Can you help and deliver them to SW2 3BH this week. Thank you
@WaterlooFB @VauxhallFB @cpfoodbank @BrixtonFoodbank

[Vauxhall Foodbank @VauxhallFB]

Our shared Streatham warehouse is full of donations and now we need your help to sort them ready for Christmas parcels.

If you are available tomorrow Friday 16th December between 11am and 3pm please get in touch!

[Lambeth and Croydon Foodbank @foodbankNorwood]

Do you have couple free hours Friday 16th. We need help sorting at our warehouse SW2 3BH 11am - 3pm only. It is very cold so come well wrapped up and help sort our donations.

[Waterloo Foodbank @WaterlooFB]

We’re asking you to hold any donations until the new year to enable us to focus on getting emergency Christmas foodbank parcels to local people next week

[Lambeth and Croydon Foodbank @foodbankNorwood]

Thank you to all our amazing supporters in Lambeth and Croydon. We have been blessed with huge number donations and can no longer accept any further donations this year please hold them for us and deliver Jan 2023 when we will need them @WaterlooFB @VauxhallFB @cpfoodbank Thanks

[Waterloo Foodbank @WaterlooFB]

We’re getting ready to deliver 1,000 food parcels to local people struggling this Christmas. Can you help make it happen? We can get £5,000 of match funding but only if we hit our £10,000 total.

If you can, please donate here: https://t.co/jd6YPWXOcj

[Waterloo Foodbank @WaterlooFB]

This Christmas, more people than ever will need our help. Today we've launched an appeal @crowdfunderuk to ensure we can give local people a brighter Christmas. Please donate if you can. https://t.co/jd6YPWXOcj

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

🧵 Last weekend, the food banks in our network asked their local communities to stand with us in calling for a stronger social security system ⤵️

#CostOfLivingCrisis

[TomSay @yaSmoT]

🧵 #Foodbanks across the @TrussellTrust network are out in their communities today talking to people about the #CostofLiving and asking their MP to take action.

(You can join in and send a message to your MP here https://t.co/QG8OO1ANnF)

[Waterloo Foodbank @WaterlooFB]

Great to have so many @lambeth_council councillors join us for our @TrussellTrust day of action. We’re asking people to join us in asking the government to take action on the #CostOfLivingCrisis https://t.co/I9leLZlt71

[Waterloo Foodbank @WaterlooFB]

We’re at our warehouse this morning 10-12 for an open day. We’re raising awareness about our work, asking for donations and calling for the government to take action on the #costoflivingcrisis @cpfoodbank @foodbankNorwood @VauxhallFB

[Lambeth and Croydon Foodbank @foodbankNorwood]

Sadly this is becoming an all too often request and one that feels so wrong. Help us and foodbanks across UK campaign for change so people can afford dot cook, heat their homes and eat.

[Lambeth and Croydon Foodbank @foodbankNorwood]

The Lambeth foodbanks @WaterlooFB @VauxhallFB @cpfoodbank @BrixtonFoodbank are grateful to @helenhayes_ and other local MPs for raising concerns we have for those placed in hotels and the increasing desperation we are seeing for those residing there often for many months.

[Lambeth and Croydon Foodbank @foodbankNorwood]
