"You could say we're all in the same storm, but we're not all in the same boat..." Dan from our team spoke to @BBCNews this time last week about what the #energypricecap means for local people we support - who already can't afford essential costs like rent, heating & food...

We are so proud of our volunteers, tonight winning a #WandsworthCivicAward. Their hard work, dedication and sacrificial kindness towards our neighbours in extreme hardship is rightly recognised by @WandsworthMayor & @wandbc in the town hall this evening. Thank you! 💚

We're so happy to have opened our doors @StMarksSW11 again! We'll be here on Tuesdays 12-2pm and Fridays 10am-12pm, and look at the lovely welcome our volunteers provide! 🥰

Today @StMarksSW11 is our first welcome back & training session for #foodbank volunteers, as we get ready to re-open our welcome centres on 20 September. So looking forward to seeing our guests face-to-face again, after 18 months of home deliveries! 👉wandsworth.foodbank.org.uk/2…

We're recruiting! We're looking for an experienced & strategic Foodbank Operations Manager to join us, and work with us to end the need for our #foodbank** **Also to provide the best support for local people in financial hardship until then 🙌 🔎charityjob.co.uk/jobs/wandsw…

We love our volunteer drivers, like Phoebe & Marie - delivering emergency food to people referred to us because they don't have enough money for food: 'We love helping at the #foodbank. It's a tough time for everybody, but it's much tougher for some. It's nice to help out.'

'It's so great to help - good to do something good. We're glad to make a difference.' Peter & Zena are part of our awesome team of #volunteer drivers, taking emergency food to local people referred to us in severe hardship. We're so grateful to them & all our volunteers 👏👏

Facing hardship? Live in #Wandsworth? Here's some really useful info from @wandbc about financial crisis help available - and how to apply. They're grants not loans, so you won't need to pay them back. Please RT! 👇👇👇

'I would like to say a big thank you for the help you gave me today. Your help gives me hope in life.' We just received this message from someone referred to us in severe hardship. We're sharing it with everyone who's generously giving to the #foodbank to help others. Thanks👊

We made this short film to say thanks to @LondonFire who helped us move to a new, larger temporary home - and to each person who's donated to the #foodbank to help others during the pandemic. Thank you! #firefighters #foodbank #community youtu.be/4CjGQKxAkUk

During lockdown we've delivered 3000+ emergency supplies to local people who can’t afford enough food for themselves and their families. Please share this so that more #Wandsworth residents know about vital help available from their Council. Thanks! #GetHelpToWeatherTheStorm

Thank you so much to all our dedicated, compassionate, hard-working volunteers who each day make up and deliver emergency food parcels, spreading #joy and #hope at the same time! #VolunteersWeek #foodbanks

Huge thanks again to the heroes @lfbwandsworth! They're not only keeping people safe 🔥, they also delivered 2.7 tonnes of much-needed emergency food we'd bought at cost from @AldiUK, using some of the funds generously donated by local supporters. #grateful #team #community

Inside a busy @StMarksSW11 church today! Brilliant team sorting 2 tonnes of food, packing bags for home deliveries & generally being awesome. Huge thanks to everyone donating to make this possible! 🤗

Another 23 home deliveries of emergency food today to local people who otherwise wouldn't have had any food. Huge thanks to everyone who has donated and to our incredible volunteer team 💚
