Helen Barnard, policy research director @TrussellUK : “The Treasury’s insistence on driving through record cuts to disabled people’s social security to balance the books is both shocking and appalling. People at food banks are telling us they are terrified how they’ll survive.”

Just £22 to go!
Thanks to Paul and Andrew for bringing us to 89%.
Almost half of the donations have already gone out to support people in our community, funds don’t sit around for long. We help people quickly!

We will soon hit £2,000 distributed to people in financial need. Funds don’t sit languishing in the pot, it goes out to those who need it as quickly as possible after coming in. Our balance is currently just £9.77.

The #EmergencyPaymentFund gives £20 on a first come first serve basis to anyone with a UK bank account in need.
Sanpro, food, fuel - just some of the reasons people come to us for help.
You're welcome to, too.
All donations gratefully received.

We need to defend universalism.
Universal benefits like Winter Fuel Payments & demands like Free School Meals for All ensure no-one falls through the cracks.
It builds solidarity, reminding us that we all belong to the same society & deserve warmth, food security & dignity.

July update 🗓️
Your generous donations in solidarity were able to support two people in financial need this month. We unfortunately had to turn away two people due to lack of funds in the pot. Please donate and share this to help spread the word.

We have another outstanding request for £40 that we can’t meet. If neighbours can contribute in solidarity with neighbours, we can provide support to another person in financial hardship this month. We’ve helped 2 people already in July.

1 in 3 renters spending half their income on rent - says @thetimes.
This ruining lives & communities, and it is unsustainable.
Sooner or later, the government will have to face the fact that a deregulated private renting system will never deliver affordable homes for all.

Six people have set up monthly donations, the average is about £15/m. We currently have to turn away about a third of people who ask for help due to lack of funds.
Can you help by setting up a monthly donation today? One time contributions help lots too!

Solidarity!

We’re going to put together a “frequently asked questions” about Downham Solidarity Fund, what questions do you have we might not have thought about..? Let us know!

Mutual aid recognises that today you could help a neighbour in need and tomorrow you might need help from a neighbour.
Spare the price of a coffee per month to support your neighbours today? (imagine if a coffee still cost £2!)

Can't get over that there's been a *68%* increase *in one year* in the number of people who don't have enough food to *3.7 million* people and it's not anywhere near the biggest news story.

Just a few days into March and the funds are already low, we have less than £10 in the pot. Donations have already helped two people this month.
If you can spare the cost of a coffee per month, please set up a monthly donation to support your neighbours.
