🚨 NEW: Ending the two-child limit would lift 470,000 children out of severe hardship. It’s the simplest way to protect families from needing to turn to food banks just to survive.

Something is blooming...🌼 We’re heading to the Chelsea Flower Show this May! Our Together Garden is all about hope and community, inspired by how food banks support people in their toughest moments. 💚 With over 14 million people facing hunger in the UK right now, we want our garden to grow something bigger than flowers — a movement to end hunger. 🌿 Thank you to the bloomin' wonderful Rob Hardy & Co Garden Design Ltd. for designing our garden and Project Giving Back for sponsoring it! 🌸 #ChelseaFlowerShow #ProjectGivingBack

Parents under the two-child limit aren’t asking for luxuries. They’re asking: - Which child will get new school shoes? - Do I put the heating on or food on the table? - Can I just have a cup of tea for dinner tonight so the kids can eat instead?

This is how much the price of having a child has shot up in the past 5 years...🤯 🤱 Cost of parenting: +70% 🌈 Nursery costs: +20% 🧸 Toys and games: +9% 🍦 Cost of an ice cream: +42%

Incoming: our community of food banks have had a HUGE delivery of Swaha crisps! 🥔 MahaPrasadUK recently donated a whopping 17,000 packets of crisps. When you're struggling to afford the essentials, treats like crisps are simply unaffordable. These donations will help food banks give a little bit of extra joy to people when they're facing their toughest moments. Mahaprasad and Swaha will be continuing to support our food banks with donations over the coming months - a huge thank you to them for this incredible support! 💚

❗ This is exactly why Universal Credit isn't cutting it. We need to raise the basic rate of Universal Credit so that it covers how much things actually cost.

Nobody should have to turn to a food bank just to survive. That's why food banks provide financial support, alongside emergency food parcels, so that people are less likely to need a food bank in the future. Together, we CAN end hunger in the UK. 💚 📸 credit: BBC One Show

People are turning to food banks because they literally don't have enough money to survive. Over 14 MILLION people faced hunger in the UK last year. The lack of support from our social security system is one of the biggest reasons why people need to turn to food banks. But can you guess how much the basic rate is for a single adult?
