🚨 Here's why: wandsworth.foodbank.org.uk/2024/05/15/new…

🚨 Food banks in our network provided a record number of emergency food parcels last year.

But how many was it?

🎤 We asked the public if they could guess - and what they think needs to change to create a future where no one needs emergency food to survive.

Inflation may have started to fall, but the number of people going without the essentials continues to be higher than ever before. In Wandsworth we've seen a 90% increase in food parcels provided compared to five years ago.

Our friends South West London Law Centres are recruiting for some key roles, helping people on the lowest incomes to access vital justice and support. Could it be you? 🤔

🚨Urgent! Can you help? We're running really low on food, and desperately want to have enough for every local person and family referred to us in hardship.

There are lots of ways to give, including online. Thank you!

Good to be at BatterseaArtsCentre tonight for the Riverside Radio London Mayoral Election Hustings, to ask all the local candidates about what they would do to address the root causes of poverty and destitution 🙏

Last year, 37% of the food donated to us came via
Bankuet: 42 bulk deliveries across the year bringing a total of 100,763 individual items!
Huge thanks to everyone donating in this way to help our neighbours in extreme hardship.

We've been a real Living Wage employer for a few years now, but we're still celebrating! Every day at the foodbank we see how important fairly paid, secure work is - and how difficult it is for workers in low-paid, insecure work, especially when there's no sick pay.

We are so thankful for our awesome volunteers like Mabel, who provide a warm welcome to local people who need to use our foodbank because their income doesn't cover the cost of essentials. Plus tea, coffee, sandwiches, fruit and cake! 👌
