Friends,
We wanted to share some alarming, and also very tragic recent news articles with you highlighting the very real affects of Universal Credits and Benefits Changes.
- A new study has found a spike in mental-health problems linked with the rollout of universal credit and other government welfare changes, as the Guardian reports.
- A letter by Errol Graham – a man who starved to death after his benefits were stopped – has been released, begging officials not to judge him and stop his payments. As The Guardian reports.
Naturally, we are deeply concerned and saddened by these reports.
Last week the Trussell Trust called upon the government to match the public’s generosity to food banks by urgent policy changes – initially by ending the 5 week wait for Universal Credit.
And so we will continue our mission to end hunger, once and for all.
Bests wishes,
