Keeping benefits in line with the cost of living is vital to #StopUKPoverty After the #UniversalCreditCut in October we should be acting to better support those claiming UC - not leaving them behind as inflation rates soar

A huge thank you to @CloseBrothersAM for their amazing donation of over 2,000 items purchased at our local Tesco store. Thank you! Our stocks are looking low at the moment, so if you can donate, find out more at waterloo.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/dona…

The Lambeth foodbanks Waterloo Foodbank Vauxhall Foodbank @cpfoodbank Brixton Foodbank are grateful to Helen Hayes 💙🌹 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.

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.

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 Lambeth and Croydon Foodbank Vauxhall Foodbank

🧵 #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 bit.ly/3TvI1kP)

🧵 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

This Christmas, more people than ever will need our help. Today we've launched an appeal Crowdfunder UK to ensure we can give local people a brighter Christmas. Please donate if you can. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/waterloo-foo…

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: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/waterloo-foo…

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.

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

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!

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

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!

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. 💚

🧵 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. ⤵️

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.

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