🚨BREAKING: Almost 1 in 5 people claiming Universal Credit and disability benefits have used a food bank in the last month. Hunger and hardship are already at record levels, and social security cuts risk pushing even more people to food banks.

Too many parents are worrying about whether they can afford food for their children and themselves. This isn't right. But there is a solution. We need a social security system that provides just that – security. 💚

PSA: Growing up in a family that can't afford the essentials can have life-long impacts. It can impact your chances of performing well in school, finding well-paid work, and supporting your own family in the future.

We applaud the power of disabled people, food banks, and people like you who have used your voices to stand up for disabled people. The remaining cuts to disability support are very concerning. But you helped make huge improvements to the Welfare Bill. 💚

The remaining cuts to Universal Credit will still be devastating. They risk pushing even more disabled people to food banks. We won't stop pushing the UK government to create a fair and compassionate social security system 💚.

❗ This week, the UK government pushed through cuts to disabled people's social security. Here's what you need to know.
