When the rent takes up more of your income, something else has to give. For growing numbers of low-income renters, that means cutting back on food or heating to cover the gap. A roof over your head shouldn't come at the cost of food on the table.

The gender pay gap doesn't magically disappear when women retire. The financial inequalities women experience throughout their working lives can follow them into later life.

We shouldn’t accept food banks as an inevitable part of life in the UK. We need proper support and systems that stop people reaching crisis point in the first place. We wish food banks didn't have to exist, but while they do, we're here to support them 🙌

“Hunger is not inevitable.” Those words, spoken at the UN Security Council, are a powerful reminder that hunger is never simply about a lack of food. We may not be able to solve every cause of hunger ourselves, but we can choose to help someone who is facing it today 👉 bankuet.co.uk/givenow

Imagine reaching retirement after a lifetime of working, only to find that your pension no longer stretches far enough to cover the basics. Nearly 1 in 5 pensioners are now living in poverty. Everyone deserves to grow older with dignity, security and enough to eat.

You probably know someone who is struggling financially... You might just not know that they're struggling. So let's stop making assumptions about who "should" need a food bank, and start making sure that anyone who does need one can access that support without shame 🙌

It's easy to think food insecurity happens to 'other people.' But for many, all it takes is a redundancy, a relationship breakdown, an illness, an unexpected bill, or a change in circumstances to turn life upside down. That's why empathy and community matter. 👉 bankuet.co.uk/givenow

But the reality is that food insecurity affects people from all walks of life: people with jobs, families, mortgages, qualifications, and responsibilities. Food insecurity doesn't have a look, it doesn't discriminate, and that's why reducing stigma matters just as much as increasing support.

This recent research found that in the NHS Highland area, 21.9% of children live in relative poverty. This is a figure that has not improved since 2010 💔 That’s why community support matters so much, because behind every figure is a child who deserves stability, dignity, and the chance to thrive.
