You are Helping Create Change
Thank you for being part of our movement which has been calling on politicians to lead us to a more hopeful future where everyone can afford the essentials.
With your help, in the run up to the General Election we:
-
Sent over 22,000 emails to parliamentary candidates which urged them to speak up for a stronger security system.
-
Supported food banks across the UK to organise hustings, asking candidates questions about how they will tackle hardship in their communities.
-
Mobilised over 200 organisations to sign an open letter, calling on party leaders to put tackling hardship at the top of their agenda.
-
Created noise and pressure which led to Labour’s manifesto committing to ‘end mass dependence on emergency food parcels.’
Yesterday’s King’s Speech also highlights the progress we’ve made together, as our new government announced some long-term measures that were included in our manifesto. They provide a promising start in delivering Labour's pledge to end the need for emergency food.
