The PFA rightly honours MR14 with a merit award for his work on food poverty. Bravo to him for using his platform to remind us this needs more than short term solutions. skysports.com/amp/football/n… #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY

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.

Food banks see usage more than double through Covid-19 eveningexpress.co.uk/news/scotland/…

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£1,040 per year in April 2021. 700,000 people will be pulled into poverty if the temporary increase of £20 per week is withdrawn.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

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.

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

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

Extreme poverty 'will double by Christmas' in UK because of Covid-19 ⁦Patrick Butler⁩ ⁦@TrussellTrust⁩ ⁦ theguardian.com/society/2020/s…

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.

Did you see our new research yesterday with @ISPHERE_HWU and National Institute of Economic and Social Research? #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 > trusselltrust.org/heriot-watt-re…

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

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