A grassroots campaign, asking the public to donate part or all of their Eat Out To Help Out discounts to support national & local Food Aid groups #StopUkHunger

[EatOutReallyHelpOut @eat_really]

Thank you @BigIssue for featuring the campaign to divert the Eat Out discounts to support food aid organisations like those in the @IFAN_UK community. Every day is #foodbankfriday alas. #eatouttoreallyhelpout

"Decisive and immediate action needs to be taken to turn the tide of escalating poverty levels driving the proliferation of food banks, food pantries and other charitable food aid providers." @hannahjtw @emmarevie @TrussellTrust @KarenPBuckMP https://t.co/nAdqzuLgIy

[EatOutReallyHelpOut @eat_really]

We need to start talking about this from a rights perspective, as with the proposed Scottish #RightToFood legislation. Well said @cinnamontoastuk

[Jane Middleton @cinnamontoastuk]

'43% of people referred to food banks in April had an income that was “not at a level to sustain a minimum quality of life”.' This is not just a Victorian level of negligence on the government's part, it's a serious breach of human rights. https://t.co/0WTNf1g3aQ

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

Did you see our new research yesterday with @ISPHERE_HWU and @NIESRorg? #Foodbanks in our network are forecast to give out six emergency food parcels a minute this winter – we need change now to protect people from being pushed into poverty > https://t.co/4meXtWA2Px

[IFAN @IFAN_UK]

Critical research launched today by @TrussellTrust warns of yet more increases in need for 3-day emergency food parcels in the coming months. We support @TrussellTrust calls to Government for policy changes and investment to reduce the footfall to food banks.

[EatOutReallyHelpOut @eat_really]

Look at that percentage. Projected increase of 61% year on year calling on food aid this winter. #thisshouldnotbenormal

[Sufra NW London @SufraNWLondon]

With demand for food parcels set to soar by +61% this winter vs last year according to new research, your support to us now is more important than ever, to help those most desperately in need. Visit https://t.co/Udk4nf44ZQ to make a donation today.

[Brixton Foodbank @BrixtonFoodbank]

Many schools are asking pupils to provide their own hand sanitiser - a huge stretch for families struggling to make ends meet. This week Ben & Arthur from @cpfoodbank took on the mighty task of making dozens of bottles to include in our family food parcels. #FoodBankFriday

[EatOutReallyHelpOut @eat_really]

Thank you so much @designsbypoppy for all support.

Our latest figures show that urgent action is needed more than ever as need for independent food banks in Scotland remains at least double in April to July 2020 compared to the same months of last year. Read our full report https://t.co/rufhd4ZqNQ

[Children's Food Campaign (no longer posting here) @Childrensfood]

9 in 10 parents agree with @MarcusRashford & want #FreeSchoolMeals expanded to all children in poverty. See new @Childrensfood @food_active report on parents' experiences of feeding children during #Covid19 lockdown & priorities for #buildingbackbetter https://t.co/UdsWQpDyhf

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

This insightful piece shows just how vital the temporary £20 increase to #UniversalCredit has been, that's why we're calling for the Government to keep families afloat, keep doing the right thing and #KeepTheLifeline https://t.co/nAvbQWnuzE

[Turn2us - Tackling Financial Insecurity Together @turn2us_org]

Around 16 million people are at risk of seeing their social security support cut by £1,040 per year in April 2021.

700,000 people will be pulled into poverty if the temporary increase of £20 per week is withdrawn.

The government must do the right thing and #KeepTheLifeline

[EatOutReallyHelpOut @eat_really]

@joannamyoung Well said. We need to stop accepting that this is the norm. #thisshouldneverbenormal #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY

[EatOutReallyHelpOut @eat_really]

7 in 10 using @WandsworthFB during lockdown had never used a food bank before.

[Wandsworth Foodbank @WandsworthFB]

Thanks to people's generosity, we gave emergency supplies to 1200+ #Wandsworth households during lockdown, referred to us in severe hardship.

7 in 10 had never had to use the #foodbank before.

We're looking to a future where food banks aren't needed, but until then, thank you.

[EatOutReallyHelpOut @eat_really]

The impact of removing £20 uplift in #UniversalCredit 16m have income reduced by over £1k, 700,000 more fall into poverty, 500,000 into deep poverty. Acting is essential to creating a more resilient society and reducing reliance on food banks & other aid. #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

Our new research shows that if the Government's temporary £20 boost to #UniversalCredit was removed as planned, 700,000 people would be plunged into poverty. That's why we're asking the Government to make this increase permanent and #KeepTheLifeline. https://t.co/xn70K72ewk

[Joanna Young @joannamyoung]

It should be flabbergasting that a national food brand casually states that 14m people in the UK live in poverty on its packaging. We should be outraged. Don’t forget to be appalled that this is a thing. No one should have to go hungry. No one.

Indeed. I was also a FSM (also full Assisted Place with support for school meals and uniform). I am very conscious of how different my life would be now.

[Carmel McConnell MBE @MagicCarmel]

So important! I was a FSM pupil & set up this #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY charity with love, offering food as #fuelforlearning for any child arriving at school hungry. Never a price barrier or stigma. Please RT, or if you can, donate to help @magic_breakfast And tell @MarcusRashford? 😉
