1 in 6 people referred to our food banks have no internet. That's 1 in 6 who can't access the internet to search for jobs, manage bills or keep in touch with family. But we CAN change this - by updating our social security system so it covers the costs of the essentials. 💚

We've got a great wee bank here in Porty. We have such a thriving high street it would be a shame to see this closed. Save our local bank in #Portobello and stop the rot elsewhere too - Sign the Petition! chng.it/7gjGnLNq2Z via @UKChange
