No parent should have to worry about whether they can afford food for their child. Our social security system should be there to support us when times are tough. But right now, it’s falling short and leaving people like Lowri with no option but to turn to a food bank. ⤵️ 💚
Want to support your local food bank by donating food? Check out these 8 essential items that food banks often need. ⤵️ Thank you! 💚
Right now, the basic rate of Universal Credit is £91 a week for a single adult. Millions of people are having to go without food and other essentials because it doesn’t stretch to cover the cost of the things we all need. This isn’t right. We need to guarantee #OurEssentials.
This #NationalPetDay, we'd like you to meet Dixie! She's @wlfoodbank's cutest four-legged staff member. 🐶 Her job responsibilities include being cute and dishing out cuddles to the staff and volunteers in the office. 💚
📝 Bank the Food is a free app that tells you what your local food bank needs each week, making it even easier to support people in your community! Check out how to use the @BanktheFoodUK app and support your local food bank. 👇💚
🩺❌ People on Universal Credit are having to go without medication and miss doctors appointments due to a lack of money. This isn't right. On #WorldHealthDay, we're calling for our social security system to support us all to live a healthy, dignified life. 💚
📝 Writing your food shopping list? If you can, please add a few extra items to donate to your local food bank. Every item donated makes a real difference and helps the food banks in our network support people in their communities. 💚
Families in the UK are facing hunger and hardship because of the two-child limit to benefit payments. ❌ This isn’t right. ❌ So today the @EndChildPoverty Coalition handed in an unhappy birthday card to mark 7 years of the two-child limit and call on @DWPgovuk to scrap it. ⤵️

Well done Year 3 🇮🇸🇨🇦👏. We can't wait for the sponsor money to come in so that we can find out how much we've raised. The money will be split between The Trussell Trust and Year 3 so we hope it will be a grand total!🤞
Without a change of course, we are on route to a second lost decade in living standards. 📢 JRF and @TrussellTrust are calling on all parties to introduce an Essentials Guarantee into Universal Credit to ensure everyone has a protected minimum amount of support.
Wow 🥹🥹 We received this beautiful hand made card today, and it's reminded us why we do what we do, and why we're fighting tooth and nail to see things change in our society, so that no one goes hungry because everyone can afford the essentials. @TrussellTrust

Yesterday I started working for Cardiff Foodbank & I feel so lucky to have found a role that I’m so passionate about. I’m keen to meet with others working in this space so please connect if so. Also I’m excited to meet other @TrussellTrust Local Organisers, in Wales & beyond ✨
We're so excited to introduce our new member of staff - IMY! Imy has started as our new Local Organiser, where she will helping create campaigns alongside the local communities of Cardiff, seeking to make long term change and address key drivers of poverty. Croeso Imy!
@TrussellTrust stats also show this. Pensioners still a small group of those turning to food banks, but sharp rise recently. Mid year stats showed over 91,000 parcels for that group, 36% increase from previous year (vs average increase of 16%). trusselltrust.org/news-and-blog/… 4/11
🗓️ From today, most benefit rates rise by 6.7% due to the normal annual ‘uprating’ rules to match inflation. 📉 But even after this, #UniversalCredit’s basic rate will still fall far short of what’s needed to afford essentials like food, household bills and vital travel.🧵1/5
