Thanks to @yagayagafred for reporting on #foodinsecurity beyond devastating food bank statistics. @TrussellTrust’s 3.1 million food parcels is “the tip of the tip of the iceberg” @IanByrneMP @BylineTimes #CashFirst @IFAN_UK

The "industrial scale" of #foodbanks in UK is symptomatic of a huge failure in our system of welfare / social security - as a rich nation we should be better than this! #PovertyInUK
Just the 25 pallets of food being unloaded at our main warehouse today 🚛 Our team will sort this stock, and get it out to our #foodbanks across the city. You donate, we bulk buy, and help support people every week. Simple as that! #Sheffield #CostOfSurviving

Congratulations to one of our local Southey councillors @JaynePDunn on becing Mayor of Sheffield
Wonderful to see @JaynePDunn installed as the 127th Lord Mayor of #Sheffield - and only the 20th woman! Possibly the 1st ever single mum. Go Jayne. I’m looking forward to seeing all the wonderful things you do to celebrate the city.
