Take action

The UK government is talking about making huge cuts to disabled people’s social security.

More than three quarters of people on Universal Credit and disability payments have already gone without essentials in the last six months. 

Join us in letting them know these cuts are short-sighted and shameful before the March Statement on 26 March.

We need urgent action on hunger in the UK. That's why we work together to ensure no one in the UK needs a food bank to survive. 

Until that happens, we provide emergency food and practical support to people in their hardest moments. And work with partners and local communities to ensure everyone gets the right help long before they need a food bank. 

How can we help you?

Get emergency food

If you need help, your local food bank can provide an emergency food parcel. We can help you find out where to get a food voucher for emergency food.
