It’s unjust that lack of affordable childcare is such a big barrier into work for our poorest households. We can #TurnTheTide by investing more in early years education.

#ChallengePovertyWeek: Women's experiences of domestic abuse and poverty are closely tied.
Check out #RecountingWomen to see the barriers women face in rebuilding their lives after abuse: recountingwomen.co.uk/
Work done with survivors, @shaktiedinburgh and @EdinWomensAid
Everyone has a right to health, but poorer people have unequal access to care. That’s unjust. We need to #TurnTheTide on health inequality and #ChallengePoverty to make sure everyone gets the healthcare they need.
It’s unjust that rising energy costs hit the poorest hardest. A windfall tax on the big energy companies could help #TurnTheTide, and investment in #WarmHomes could help #ChallengePoverty at source.

'The UK Government must up-rate benefits... if they don't do that, that would be morally indefensible.'

Too many of us are struggling on incomes that don’t match the rising tide of living costs. On Day 1 of #ChallengePoverty Week, we say that we can #TurnTheTide on this injustice. Everyone deserves an adequate income.

We recently shared that the food banks in our network gave out 2.1 million food parcels between April 2020 and March 2021.
It isn't right that this work is needed, but we're extremely grateful to everyone who has supported #Foodbanks during this difficult time. Thank you. 💚
ALT Three volunteers stand between shelves at Stroud District Foodbank, a food bank in our network. The volunteers are surrounded by food parcels and boxes of food, a sign saying 'open here today' sits in front of them.
