Research carried by our staff at @McrFoodbank on Healthy Start vouchers for new mothers being mentioned in the commons by @EmmaLewellBuck 👏. Want to learn more about what our charity is doing?Manchester’s first citywide anti-poverty summit is on 6th July https://t.co/c6RRiGDKQy
huge thanks for the tireless work from @EmmaLewellBuck championing this auto-enrolment Healthy Start Bill. Very glad that the experiences of the 500 claimants we have supported are able to inform the House & look forward to helping centre those voices together in coming months 💪
Early and ready for the @ClarionLaw Clinical Negligence and Serious Injury Masterclass in Leeds. Looking to take away some learning points for deputyship/trust cases with ongoing litigation claims #CourtofProtection
@michellTilling@OPGGovUK After submitting your deputyship application the court should have issued the application giving you a reference number. You can ring the court on 0300 456 4600 and ask for an update. If there’s an urgent need for a decision then you can complete a COP9 form and sent to court
@MartinSLewis Worth a mention that if it’s too late to arrange a LPA because of loss of capacity, then it’s the deputyship route through the Court of Protection. Plenty of free guidance online but it can be a long and costly process. If it’s a complicated estate then speak to a solicitor ⚖️
@MoneySavingExp Court of Protection solicitor here 👋. You can complete the application yourself but for larger estates, a risk of family members disagreeing, or you need to sell jointly owned property, then it’s probably worth speaking to a solicitor. Timescales looking at 6m+ unless urgent
Foraging is an admittedly eccentric hobby but one I started in lockdown to help unwind at weekends. Courtesy of a large blackthorn hedge we found in North Yorkshire, for Xmas we will have sloe gin, sloe brandy and sloeberry & apple jam.

This week the W in @jmwsolicitors retired after 48 years of service to the law. Ged Wilson will be sorely missed by my team here, the wider firm and all those who knew him. All the best Ged!
Is Lee Anderson just ignorant of the issues contributing to food poverty? Has he not considered debt and housing issues or no recourse to public funds? I wish more MPs visited foodbanks and see for themselves it’s not about budgeting. It’s about surviving a cost of living crisis
Thank you! To all 200 of you who came along to our exhibition because you CARE how our city’s public spaces serve the people.
Huge thanks to our volunteers (only half pictured!) who worked tirelessly to make this campaign what it is. We can’t wait for what’s next 🤩🌱🏙🖍
Latest figures from @McrFoodbank:
"In the year to 22/04 we supported 1,862 people with 3-day emergency food parcels, a 100% increase over the pre-pandemic numbers in the same period.
"Of those people, 720 were children. The number of children supported has increased 170%"
