π It's almost back to #school time! Having to buy a new school #uniform every few years is just not financially possible for many families, so we've awarded grants to fantastic #charities like @edi_little and @F4FSev who are supporting those struggling with this cost. #Charity

We're very grateful to @ManakSolicitors for their support with this fundraising event for a second year. As a small charity embedded in our local community, the generosity of local businesses like Manak is vital to us.
Manak Solicitors are proud to support @F4FSev sustainable fashion event, Fashion With Friends, on the 7th of October, at the Bat & Ball Community Centre. Find yourself a black dress for the Christmas season while supporting our local charity. #ManakSolicitors

Wow, quite a response from Asda. We're trying to buy food for vulnerable families but their website's glitching. Will they help us? No - they say to just keep trying online in the hope that the website problem gets fixed!

In light of the new energy price cap estimates, @ProfJBradshaw and Antonia Keung have updated their modelling and added other thresholds. In January, they estimate that 11.7% of households will be spending MORE THAN 30% of their net income on fuel.
By January 2023 over half of households in the UK (15 million) will be in fuel poverty β spending over 10 per cent of net income on fuel. New analysis from @ProfJBradshaw and Antonia Keung of @UniOfYork

@BritishGasHelp why make it more difficult for us to help families struggling with their bills at this point? Really would like a response please. Does anyone else know why they've done this? @MartinSLewis ?

Response from @AsdaServiceTeam is that they're sorry, but no solution. They refuse to address repeated requests to speak to someone in a position to help us. Anyone got any ideas how to get through to someone at Asda who can actually address this?
