Demand has reached crisis levels, and many food banks are being forced to buy most of the food they give out due to a lack of donations 🥫

More families are going hungry. And more help is needed than ever.

🚨 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.

Email your MP to call on the Chancellor to end this cruel policy 👉 https://bit.ly/4ovyIAj

Every day the two-child limit pushes 109 children into hunger.

The UK gov PROMISED to end the need for emergency food.

So we're backing@savechildrenuk.bsky.social to greet MPs to the Labour Party Conference with a message they cannot miss. 👀

Agreed! 👍 👇 Be kind by supporting Medway Foodbank through the @bankuet.bsky.social website where you can donate money that we can use to purchase much needed stock for our food parcels.
THANK YOU 💚
A study found that kindness is one of the most powerful tools we have for our own wellbeing 🙌

So maybe the most radical act of self-care isn’t just looking after ourselves… It’s choosing to care for others too ❤️

❗ 14 MILLION people are facing hunger and hardship in the UK. In 2025. In one of the richest countries in the world.

We don’t need more food banks – we need change. Repost if you agree.

The two-child limit is pushing children to hardship, punishing them for having siblings.

If the UK government doesn't act, they risk forcing more families to food banks. Read more ⤵️

If the government does not change course, it risks increasing hardship and forcing more families to food banks.
