People are turning to food banks because they just don't have enough money to survive. Last year, 14 MILLION people faced hunger.

It's so wrong. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Food banks haven’t always been needed in the UK - together we CAN build a future where everyone has enough money in their pockets to live. 💚
