Last week, our Manager Harrison and one of our Trustees David joined over 700 others from Trussell foodbanks, The Salvation Army International, Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Food Network to speak to our local MPs at Westminster about the #GuaranteeOurEssentials campaign.
We shared what we see everyday at Falkirk Foodbank – people struggling to afford the bare essentials. We urged for action to make sure everyone can afford these essentials such as food and utilities.
Thank you to our MPs for listening. This is just the beginning of a conversation about strengthening our welfare system so that no one has to depend on foodbanks to survive.
