The first Friday in September is recognized as National Food Bank Day.

This strikes near and dear to my heart. If you have it within you to give, please help share with those who are struggling.

In today's socio-economic climate, there's this false belief that people who need help are not willing to work. That's simply not true. These reports from the last few years show food bank usage going up for those who are actively working:

I visited a yesterday (as part of a Report for Work, not thankfully as a client)

It was decorated with Charles III images and bunting.

Nothing says Britain 2023 than a Food Bank celebrating a Billionaire with a Gold Hat that we're all paying for.

-Give cash donations, not items. You rarely give bags of sand to a cancer charity, or spoons to an animal sanctuary. Donate money to your . It can bulk buy more necessary & cheaper than you can, increasing value.

-Giftaid taxbreak your donations to increase value.
£1 becomes £1.25 in UK

-Don't buy charity singles etc. Lots money is skimmed off that way. Give direct instead.

Tory Vice Chair , who thinks users can manage on 30p meals, has the brass neck to show a video with him on a South American jolly paid for by the taxpayer. This kind of Tory is as odious as , , et al. tinyurl.com/2p8hy5t5

As Britain sinks in to a literal see if shit, food bank use soars, the health services crumble, the government refuse to engage on paying a living wage. The nation will spend millions on a bloke in fancy dress putting on a camp sorting hat, rejoice peasants and marvel at your betters.

This is always a very tough time of year for your local and while a food is amazing, please consider cash if you can do it:

canadahelps.org/en/giving-life

Not only will your money go further and provide the charity with flexibility in how to best use your donation, in many places you'll also get a tax deduction!

And of course, if you can manage it, a small recurring donation is better than a large lump sum, as that creates a more predictable income stream for the .

Meet Bea… Bea was 11 yesterday.
Bea had a birthday party, and asked for her friends to bring donations for our local food bank instead of presents.
Bea is my niece, and I could not be prouder 💕
