End Hunger UK

As we plan our route out of the pandemic, we must ensure Universal Credit is roadworthy. Our director @niallcooper1 writes in @TheNorthernEcho about the new food insecurity data, and what needs to happen next: thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/19207203.… #keepthelifeline

Here are Mary & Sydnie from York Food Justice Alliance, in an excerpt from our latest podcast. And here’s the full episode: anchor.fm/casttoendpover… (@FoodPowerUK @YorkFoodbank #BuildBackBetter)

Listening to @RishiSunak's unprecedented policy intervention in these strange times - job retention scheme paying 80% of wages for workers, higher #UniversalCredit standard rate, more help for renters. Will make a huge difference to people @CitizensAdvice (& @TrussellTrust!) help

It’s #InternationalDayOfHappiness, so we wanted to share some stories that have made us smile in these uncertain times and celebrate the hard work of the #foodbanks across our network and generosity of our supporters

Good to receive the #Whyendhunger report making the economic, moral and political case for eradicating UK poverty, with practical suggestions from @EndHunger_UK

Thank you everyone xx

Well done & thank you for the @EndHunger_UK report today - isn’t it scandalous that U.K. hunger is on the rise? Just back from a @magic_breakfast partner school, Headteacher told me that in 30 years of teaching she has never seen so many hungry children. We must bring change ♥️

Around three-quarters of us believe that hunger in the UK can be ended. And we couldn’t agree more. That’s why we’re proud to be part of @EndHunger_UK, supporting their call on all UK political parties to end hunger #ActNow > endhungeruk.org/2019/11/06/why…

Thanks @hlambiemumford for the introduction to all the strong voices in the new report. "We need to address the underlying causes of poverty to tackle hunger" Baroness Ruth Lister recognises main unifying aim at the #endhungerUK launch today.

So lovely to see this @gnomic_aorist poem reprinted in their @NationalTheatre #FaithLoveandHope programme! This is one of the stunning winning poems of our @EndHunger_UK challenge last year. Read the poem in full here: poems.poetrysociety.org.uk/poems/my-grand…
