So great to see the work of our friends over at @lightningreach in @guardian the other day. Their grants portal is a brilliant initiative to support people struggling with the rising cost of living and shows the benefits of coordination and partnership working!
Fantastic to be featured in @guardian today, highlighting how the Lightning Reach portal is making it quicker and easier for people in financial hardship to get the support they need #costoflivingcrisis

Struggling families rely on emergency funds for when disaster strikes, to keep the bills paid💡 and put food on the table🍽
#CostOfLiving has left families more vulnerable than ever. But years of instability have left councils unable to provide support. bit.ly/3ciTRhh

2️⃣7️⃣% of children were living in poverty in 2021. This figure will only get worse.
Our CEO @markrusselluk spoke to @BBCNWT about the latest figures on child poverty amid the #CostOfLivingCrisis⬇️

This stark graph from our member @CPRFoodBank in #Cornwall shows a pattern that so many @IFAN_UK food banks are seeing. May/June might normally be quieter but not this year. Coupled with a drop in donations and surplus supply many of members are struggling to cope #CashFirst

Thanks to @BBCTheOneShow for speaking with @sabineegoodwin about the challenges our members are facing as they reach breaking point and yet more people seek their help. We're urging the UK Government to ensure that people have enough money to be able to afford food #CashFirst
Pleased to attend @lightningreach's event today exploring cross-sector collaboration to improve access to financial support. Great panel with speakers from @lambeth_council @ACOBenevolence @PoppyLegion @SHGroupUK
Such a good discussion of best practice with @turn2us_org @TrussellTrust and Hackney councillor @chrismylesk yesterday at #LabLocal22
