Fantastic news! The Chancellor just announced the end of the 2 child limit. This will protect 100s of 1000s of children from growing up facing hunger & hardship, ease pressure on public services & boost our economy. #Budget2025

Today is #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay led by @nea.org.uk. We constantly see the impossible "heat or eat" choice families are forced to make due to rising energy costs. If you or anyone you know are struggling, please reach out. Our team can help with advice, support, and signposting to local services.

People turn to food banks when they don't have enough money to survive. Lots of people are in-between jobs, have health conditions or are looking after loved ones. And some people are in work that doesn't pay enough to get by.

🚨 Let’s talk about the disability bill. This is what we know so far…🧵

On 18th June Chipping Barnet Foodbank went to Parliament to take part in the “Guarantee Our Essentials” Lobby Day led by @trusselluk.bsky.social & the @jrf-uk.bsky.social‬, supported by other anti-poverty organisations, including @ifanuk.bsky.social‬, @feedingbritain.org, Caritas and many others.

🚨 BREAKING: nearly half a million people in disabled households will be forced into severe hardship if cuts to social security go ahead. This is cruel and irresponsible. If the UK government doesn’t rethink this, rising poverty and hunger will be its legacy.

Wow!!! Thank you so much to Oak Hill Parkrun and all their amazing runners for their support. We really appreciate it. 💚

Some good news 👏👏 All pupils in families receiving Universal Credit will now be eligible for free school meals. Our research shows this change will keep 135,000 fewer children from facing severe hardship. This is a HUGE step forward.

Pleased to see Barnet council getting some help from the government. Maybe now it can scrap its negative changes to the council tax support scheme, so that the poorer members of our community are not penalised 🤔 @sradford22.bsky.social @barnetfoodbank.bsky.social

🚨 Over 1.4 MILLION emergency food parcels were provided by food banks in our community in just 6 months. This is 69% higher than the same period 5 years ago. This can't go on and we refuse to stand by while so many of us are pushed to the brink, without enough money to live on.
