Next Question ❓ of the LONDON ELECTION DEBATE...coming from @WandsworthFB You can follow the debate with #RiversideDebate #RiversideRadio #SouthWestLondon #SWLondon #LondonElections2024 #LondonElects
Good to be at @battersea_arts tonight for the @ThisisRiverside London Mayoral Election Hustings, to ask all the local candidates about what they would do to address the root causes of poverty and destitution 🙏
Last year, 37% of the food donated to us came via @bankuetuk: 42 bulk deliveries across the year bringing a total of 100,763 individual items! Huge thanks to everyone donating in this way to help our neighbours in extreme hardship. bankuet.co.uk/wandsworth
We've been a real Living Wage employer for a few years now, but we're still celebrating! Every day at the foodbank we see how important fairly paid, secure work is - and how difficult it is for workers in low-paid, insecure work, especially when there's no sick pay.
We are so thankful for our awesome volunteers like Mabel, who provide a warm welcome to local people who need to use our foodbank because their income doesn't cover the cost of essentials. Plus tea, coffee, sandwiches, fruit and cake! 👌
Wandsworth Council's online Cost of Living Hub is full of useful info for local people at the sharp end of cost of living pressures. If online's not your thing, you can call them for free on 0808 175 3339 between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, and see what help is available.
Did you know we provide toiletries, nappies, baby wipes & sanitary items as well as food? When incomes are too low for essentials, people & families are going without basic items they need. Thank you to everyone who donates to make this possible 💚 wandsworth.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/
Did you know we have 6 foodbank welcome centres across Wandsworth borough? We're open every day of the week except Sunday, to make it as easy as possible for local people in hardship to access emergency help and longer-term advice and support 🧑🤝🧑 wandsworth.foodbank.org.uk/locations/
We're now closed until 9am on Tuesday 2 April. Thank you to everyone who donated Easter eggs - they were a welcome treat in our emergency food parcels! Happy Easter.
The incomes of people at #foodbanks are so low for 2 reasons: 1.Their work isn’t well-paid or secure 2.They can’t work and aren’t getting enough support to ensure there’s enough money to live on. We need to change this.
We’re building a future where no one in Wandsworth needs emergency food. While that work is underway, we rely on your donations to provide vital help. If you’re able to donate we’d really appreciate tinned potatoes, honey & peanut butter. Thank you! wandsworth.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/dona…
We're closed over the Easter weekend, opening again as usual from Tuesday 2 April. For us Easter is a time of hope, so we wish everyone love and hope today, however difficult and dark your situation is now. We and others are here to help, and you're not alone.
If you're a Wandsworth resident experiencing hardship, you can apply for a crisis grant from Wandsworth Council - supermarket and prepay fuel vouchers. It's a grant not a loan, so you won't need to pay it back. wandsworth.gov.uk/housing/benefi…
Two-thirds of people referred to us in hardship have a disability or long-term health condition. That's why, since the pandemic, we provide home deliveries for people who need our help but can't get to our centres. So grateful to our volunteer drivers who make this possible 👏
We're closed over the Easter weekend, but before then, could you donate an Easter egg or two as an extra treat for families who'll need to use our food bank? We'd be eggstremely grateful. wandsworth.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/dona…
As we head into Spring, we want to say a big thank you to everyone who gave to our Warmer Winter appeal. You can see what a difference it made to one family here 💚 wandsworth.foodbank.org.uk/2024/03/13/war…
'Yummy Treats'! 😋 Thank you to children at Mosaic Jewish Primary School for baking goodies to offer guests at our #roehampton welcome centre today, as you celebrate #purim
A local mum and unpaid carer who had to use our food bank, has told us that our Warmer Winter prepay fuel vouchers "made a massive difference to our family”. 🔥💚 Thank you to everyone who has donated! Find out more here ⬇️ wandsworth.foodbank.org.uk/2024/03/13/war…

Today I visited a number of Council owned temporary accommodation sites with our team and @SWLLawCentres. We’re trying to expand improvements that we’ve brought to our Nightingale Square site and work with residents to build participation structures.
📢 We’re calling on the UK government to introduce an Essentials Guarantee that makes sure Universal Credit covers the cost of essentials, like food. The public are with us. ⏰ So political party leaders, what are you waiting for? It’s time to guarantee #OurEssentials.
We’ve seen a lot in the news today about the 9.2m adults not actively looking for work, or ‘economically inactive’. But what does this actually mean? And what’s the difference between ‘economically inactive’ and ‘unemployed’? A quick explainer...
Universal Credit is supposed to protect people from going without essentials, but the system is falling short. That’s why we’re proud to stand with @TrussellTrust, @jrf_uk and over 150,000 people calling for Universal Credit to cover #OurEssentials: bit.ly/guarantee-esse…
The Prime Minister says: we have reduced child poverty by hundreds of thousands. Please look at this graph of destitution. Most important is the problem - the steep rise in destitution - but also important is trying to say that it doesn't exist.
A national scandal: Levels of destitution not seen since the earlier 20th century are just the tip of an iceberg of poisonous inequality, insecurity and destruction bmj.com/content/384/bm… @dannydorling @MichaelMarmot @ProfRGWilkinson @CamillaKingdon @ChildrensComm @bmj_latest

What would a 2p rate cut to National Insurance mean for personal tax rates? 💸 The biggest cash gains would go to those on £50k (net gain of £1,200 each year) 👛If you earn <£19k, you'd be worse off since you lose more from threshold freezes than you'd gain from rate cuts
Yesterday in @UKHouseofLords, I asked the government if they had assessed a recent proposal by @jrf_uk and @TrussellTrust for the introduction of an “essentials guarantee” to universal credit.
The parliamentary launch event of the #coldhomes report this week with @friends_earth was a great success! With support from the @TrussellTrust and others, @MichaelMarmot gave a keynote on the importance of action on #housinginequality. Read the report: instituteofhealthequity.org/resources-repo…
📣 People are going without the essentials because Universal Credit is falling short. So today we're at Parliament with @jrf_uk to call for change. 📮 We're handing in our petition calling on all political party leaders to ensure Universal Credit at least covers #OurEssentials.
Siobhan had to quit her job to become a full-time carer for her dad. They were both left with no income, and had no option but to turn to a food bank for support. Siobhan shared her story - and spoke about what needs to change to end hunger in the UK. 💚
📷 This morning, we stood alongside @TrussellTrust and a range of supporters outside @UKParliament to hand in our petition calling on political leaders to make sure Universal Credit protects people and guarantees #OurEssentials. 📝 Thank you to over 150,000 people who signed it!

Universal Credit should protect people from going without the essentials we all need to survive, like food and a warm home. But right now, it’s falling short. 📢 That’s why we’re standing with @TrussellTrust, @jrf_uk and over 150,000 people to call for an Essentials Guarantee.
