100% this. We provide baby and food bank services but are greatest wish is that nobody ever had to use it.
Feed people, raise children out of poverty!

Making permanent free school meals for all primary children is a great move
👏 👏 👏 👏
Setting up ‘baby banks’ however, risks further institutionalising a charitable response to addressing #childpoverty in #London where 4 in 10 children are affected. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

No! Don't institutionalise charity solutions like food- & baby-banks any more than we already are. People need enough income for essentials. Not charity sticking plasters. Communities are incredibly generous & we're so grateful. But we are not the answer. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Extremely disappointed that the Government have refused the UN's Michael Fakhri the opportunity this year, to conduct a study on what a #RightToFood would look like in the UK.
We need to make sure this important work happens after the next election.

There’s a trickle of aid going into Gaza right now, as the population faces imminent famine. There needs to be a deluge. For every hour that the war goes on, the desperate need increases.

I spoke to Alex Wagner Tonight about the situation on the ground and the work of IRC - International Rescue Committee:

🗣️ 'Public services must shift from firefighting to prevention'

🔁 Demos CEO Polly Curtis calls for a culture change, advocating for a state that invests in social infrastructure and community networks to prevent problems before they arise. Read more: jrf.org.uk/neighbourhoods….

So many children growing up in hotel rooms not homes. The most appalling aspect of this is that they cannot EVER have a home cooked meal. Please sign and share our petition chng.it/XcPbTMyWrD to ask for change.

This is awful news

Banner seen today on #London march in solidarity with people of #Palestine . #Gaza is being subjected to deliberate #starvation and #famine by #Israel . This is a war crime.
#RighttoFood is a #humanright .

Here's an example of how global heating perpetuates longstanding neo-colonial patterns of capital accumulation and control over global food supply. theguardian.com/environment/20… 1/6
