The longest day of the year is nearly here ☀️

As the summer solstice arrives, we’re reflecting on hope, the small and big things that keep us going.

For some, summer means lighter days, shared meals, and time with loved ones. For others, it can still be a difficult season.

What are you hopeful for this summer? 🌼 Let us know in the comments below

This Pride Month, we’re recognising the unequal impact of hunger on LGBTQIA+ communities 🏳️‍🌈

In 2024, research showed 1 in 3 people in the LGBTQIA+ community faced hunger and hardship, compared to 15% of people who are heterosexual.

Pride is about visibility, equality, and community. And we’re proud to be part of a network that supports everyone.

You never really know what someone is going through. 💭

The person serving your coffee.
The parent on the school run.
The colleague sitting next to you.
The friend who says they’re “fine.”

Behind the smiles, many people are silently struggling with rising bills, job loss, debt, illness, or not knowing how they’ll afford their next food shop.

These are just some of the realities people may be facing when they come to a food bank. A little kindness and understanding can mean more than you realise. 🫂

We know that many people who come to us for support are disabled, and you may be feeling uncertain or worried following recent government announcements about changes to disability benefits.

We want to reassure you that we are still here for you 💚

If you’re looking for clear, accessible information, Scope has a helpful guide explaining the proposed changes and what they may mean...

People are in really difficult situations and need help with things other than just food and that’s where Acts 435 comes in.
