📢 So two years ago today we joined the Guarantee Our Essentials campaign with @TrussellUK and @jrf_uk – and we’ll keep on campaigning until everyone can afford the essentials. 💚

Pictured is our manager Denise talking about the #GuaranteeOurEssentials campaign to tie Universal Credit to the actual cost of living.

Norwich Foodbank came to Parliament this week as part of the Trussell Trust #GuaranteeOurEssentials campaign.

They gave me real stories in sealed envelopes — a reminder that behind every statistic is a person. Nobody should be going without the basics.

We're supporting Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Trussell's call for action in Parliament today.

We must make sure everyone can afford the essentials they need to survive without having to turn to food banks and other emergency funding charities, like ours.

We're joining with foodbanks and other food aid providers to lobby MPs in Westminster today, to call on them to #GuaranteeOurEssentials

Tomorrow, we're at Westminster with other foodbanks speaking with MPs about the urgent need to update our welfare system.

We're calling on the government to take action and help ensure that everyone can afford the essentials.

It's time to #GuaranteeOurEssentials 🛒

They will be joined at Westminster by Sandra and Vicky from Dunfermline Foodbank to meet up with our MPs @graemedowniemp.bsky.social and @melanieward.bsky.social as part of the campaign to #GuaranteeOurEssentials @trussellscot.bsky.social

Today, it's business as usual at the #foodbank @trusselluk.bsky.social @trussellscot.bsky.social

Fantastic conversations and lots of support for the #GuaranteeOurEssentials campaign.

We want to reiterate our support of the #GuaranteeOurEssentials campaign. We believe Universal Credit must always protect people from going without life's basics. No one should be left struggling to afford essentials

Time for some #bluesky thinking on ending the need for Foodbanks. 8846 emergency food packages distributed last year in York is too many. So grateful to generous help of people in York but need to work Together for change. #GuaranteeOurEssentials @trusselluk.bsky.social

🚨 We must end the scourge of poverty.

Seven million households in the UK are going without essentials. This is a state of emergency.

That's why as part of the #GuaranteeOurEssentials Campaign, we're urging Keir Starmer to take action to address hardship now.

Universal Credit and the cost of essentials doesn't add up. Together we can move more people to learn about the @TrussellTrust campaign and urge them to join us in calling on the UK government to guarantee our essentials. #GuaranteeOurEssentials
