One of the most iconic dance scenes in film history 🕺❤️
Anthony Quinn and Alan Bates performing the legendary “Zorba’s Dance” in Zorba the Greek (1964)
Good meeting with @TracyBrabin with discussions on increasing uptake for healthy start vouchers, developing holiday provision to support teenagers, supporting the registration of free school meals and developing Food Clubs. Nice to have our partner @Feeding_Britain with us.

Every chair here represents someone who died in poverty in the UK.
It's heartbreaking this is happening. 💔
ALT Row after row of black chairs, laid out in a park. Above the photos of the chairs is text that reads 103,000 people died in poverty last year.

#ComicRelief. If donating to it or other charities and youre a UK taxpayer. Say yes to gift aid. Then charity can reclaim tax you've paid back.

🏠 Without PIP, 700,000 more disabled households could be pushed into poverty.
Cutting this or other disability benefits would increase hardship for some of the poorest in society - something morally indefensible.

️📩We've signed an open letter to Chancellor @RachelReevesMP with @scope @CitizensAdvice @mencap_charity @TrussellTrust @MindCharity and other sector partners urging the government to safeguard disability benefits.
These benefits are a lifeline - they must be protected. 2/3
ALT A quote card with JRF chief executive Paul Kissack where he says: "A government that came into office pledging to end the moral scar of foodbank use clearly should not be taking steps that could leave disabled people at greater risk of needing to use one."

Alongside @scope, @jrf_uk and many more, we've written to the Chancellor warning against cuts to disability support.
Most people who are forced to visit our food banks are disabled and proposed cuts risk pushing even more people into hardship. We can’t let this happen.

❗ A plan to slash disability support is cruel and risks pushing more people to the doors of food banks.
But there's still time to show the UK government that this plan is short-sighted and shameful.
Email your MP now and urge them to call on Keir Starmer to think again 👉 bit.ly/4kFR5Bj

Did you know that one of the best ways to insulate your home is curtains, which you draw at dusk? If you don’t believe me look it up. There are so many simple ways to save energy, yet because no one is lobbying for curtains, ‘cos there’s no money in it, you never hear about it.
