📣 People are going without the essentials because Universal Credit is falling short. So today we're at Parliament with Joseph Rowntree Foundation to call for change. 📮 We're handing in our petition calling on all political party leaders to ensure Universal Credit at least covers #OurEssentials.

Thank you to each and every one of you who signed our petition – over 150,000 of you signed it and stood with us to call for a better future. Our collective voices are impossible to ignore, and together, we will end hunger in the UK. 💚

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk We support our local TrussellTrust my husband takes in a £25 voucher every month for their shop our lovely volunteers do not want tins of chick peas. My husband bakes cakes and take buns for lovely volunteers to have with a cup of T. We are a small town they need support.

@jrf_uk Thank you for supporting your local food bank. 💚

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk This is the problem with the world, making people reliant on the government instead getting a job yourself, if your disabled you should get everything but you shouldn’t be claiming benefits when you are fit to work

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk I have put a message out I did not look at things forgive me. We give the trust in our local town in Wiltshire a voucher for the volunteers to shop we are pensioners but lots of people worse of than us. The volunteers are wonderful every now and again hubs bakes cakes for them.

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk Clearly I don't know math but what I've learnt in home economics, from low income & unstable employment in 5 years, makes them suspect I could fo a better job managing the economy. My current situation is a direct result of their actions. Does Trussell Trust support legal action?

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk Keep up the good work

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk Well @LBC @RachelSJohnson think £600 a week left over money is not a lot. Let's see you step up and sort this mess out then!

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk I had never heard of your organization until a few days ago. I’m proud to support your efforts. Best wishes from the United States.
