Food banks cannot be the country’s safety net. The Trussell Trust says the system itself must change. Our latest piece, by Kate Moore, looks at what that means.

Excellent article, food banks alongside Hygiene Banks are a necessity in too many lives, be they in any type of employment or not!
Foodbanks were never meant to be permanent. This article, by Nick Gardham, asks what happens when charity becomes the default response to poverty.

Normalising deprivation – when charity is the default response to poverty
The rise of foodbanks shows how charity has filled the gaps of a failing system and now risks normalising hardship

For many this is reality. For Christmas, they just want essentials. Please look into your heart & buy a needed gift. For the price of your coffee, or parking, you could donate these 6 essential hygiene items. Even just one of these (start from 25p) will help us #EndHygienePoverty

If we knew we would be pulled into hygiene poverty, we could be prepared. The reality is, any one of us could find ourself in such a situation. One car repair. One lost job. One extra bill. That's all it takes. Please keep talking about Hygiene Poverty this #NationalHygieneWeek💛
