Right to Food Campaign

Right to Food Campaign

The UK is a very wealthy country, but millions of people rely on food banks to make sure that their children get a square meal, many in work. 11 million of our fellow citizens are living in food poverty. Every day for them is a choice between eating and heating, or eating and a warm coat for the kids. Something is very wrong.

This law make the government responsible for addressing the raging income inequalities and the broken benefits system which have pushed so many into poverty. It would force the government to scrap its cruel five week wait before a claimant receives a penny of Universal Credit, a main reason why people are forced to turn to food banks.

It's time that the #RightToFood became law.
