It’s unjust that lack of affordable childcare is such a big barrier into work for our poorest households. We can #TurnTheTide by investing more in early years education.

#ChallengePovertyWeek: Women's experiences of domestic abuse and poverty are closely tied. Check out #RecountingWomen to see the barriers women face in rebuilding their lives after abuse: recountingwomen.co.uk Work done with survivors, @shaktiedinburgh and @EdinWomensAid

Everyone has a right to health, but poorer people have unequal access to care. That’s unjust. We need to #TurnTheTide on health inequality and #ChallengePoverty to make sure everyone gets the healthcare they need.

It’s unjust that rising energy costs hit the poorest hardest. A windfall tax on the big energy companies could help #TurnTheTide, and investment in #WarmHomes could help #ChallengePoverty at source.

Too many of us are struggling on incomes that don’t match the rising tide of living costs. On Day 1 of #ChallengePoverty Week, we say that we can #TurnTheTide on this injustice. Everyone deserves an adequate income.

The Edinburgh NE Foodbank will be open as normal on Monday 19th September 2022.

As the school summer holidays approach and families continue to weather the ongoing cost of living crisis, our #Edinburgh office rolled up their sleeves and organised a collection for @FoodbankNe 👏 Helping #ourcommunity really matters to @DigbyBrownLLP #ItMatters #OneTeam

It is our Tesco collection today and tomorrow in Tesco Leith. Why not pop along, say hello and support your local Foodbank. Every donation will help support people in the Leith community 💚#everylittlehelps

Today is the first day of the @asda Food Drive! 🙌 Until 8 May, you'll be able to donate items to the food banks in our network whilst you shop. Each donation will go towards emergency food parcels for people facing hardship. Head to your local #Asda store to donate. 💚

We recently shared that the food banks in our network gave out 2.1 million food parcels between April 2020 and March 2021. It isn't right that this work is needed, but we're extremely grateful to everyone who has supported #Foodbanks during this difficult time. Thank you. 💚
