Almost 1 in 5 people claiming Universal Credit and disability payments have used a food bank in the last month.

Proposed cuts to disability support risk driving more people to food banks.

As my MP @JimAllister, will you ask the PM to rethink these cuts?

🚨 Food banks in NI in our network provided 60,831 food parcels for families with children in the last year.

It shouldn’t be this way.

And the Executive CAN fix it. Jonny from our team explains the 3 steps the Executive needs to take – starting with free #SummerLunches. ⤵️

Our short video explains why we need to #remove2childlimit.

One in ten children in Northern Ireland live in households affected by the two-child limit.

We can do something about it.

A lot of fuss around No.10 Downing St last night!!!

The big event was celebrating 20yrs of @csjthinktank award winners. The very best of the small charity world, united in tackling local poverty.

Our own CEO @rickywright78 was there as an award winner!

Thanks @CSJFoundation!

📢 #GeneralElection will be on July 4th

We live in a country where almost four million people have experienced destitution in a single year, a million of them children.

We need to hear plans to urgently tackle this hardship from every political party. #GE2024

As we wait to hear what the next steps are for the return of the Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive, our short video provides a reminder of the Cliff Edge Coalition’s three key asks and how they would help to lift people out of poverty in Northern Ireland.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

🧵 Millions of people across the UK, like Amanda, Kevin and Matt, are facing hunger.

Despite living in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, 1 in 7 people in the UK face hunger due to a lack of money.

But it doesn’t have to be this way for anyone.

[Ricky Wright @rickywright78]

The Coalition are concerned that restrictions on the DS scheme will intensify poverty for those who are already struggling, like lone parents and children

[Cliff Edge Coalition NI @CliffEdgeNI]

We are deeply concerned that restrictions on the Discretionary Support scheme will intensify poverty for those who are already struggling.

Read our response to @CommunitiesNI current consultation on changes to the Discretionary Support Scheme.
