Lyndsey, 39, is a home-working mum of two sons but was affected by rising rent, fuel and food costs which led her to Dundee & Angus Foodbank last year. Now, in receipt of Scottish Child Payment, she no longer needs the foodbank. #HungerInScotland

.Paul O’Kane MSP 🇺🇦 excellent here urging action from both the Scottish & UK Governments to deliver a fairer social security system & ensure people can get the support they need when they need it #HungerInScotland #OurEssentials 👇

Here in Scotland, thousands of people on Universal Credit can’t afford food or other essentials.

Our #HungerInScotland research found that 1 in 6 people in Scotland are going hungry.

This isn’t right and it’s time for change

Thanks for raising our damning new #HungerInScotland research in Westminster Wendy Chamberlain MP

This mirrors our recent #HungerInScotland research which found that over two-thirds of people referred to a The Trussell Trust Scotland food bank in receipt of UC were facing a deduction 👇🏼

Interesting to hear our #HungerInScotland research discussed by Murdo Fraser Rona Mackay MSP Paul O’Kane MSP 🇺🇦 Willie Rennie Graham Stewart We all agree the data is shocking, can we agree we need bold + urgent action from Westminster + Holyrood to ensure everyone can afford the essentials?

Food insecurity, minimum income, care experience and disability - thanks Graham Stewart for the chance to talk in detail about the new The Trussell Trust Scotland research out today #HungerInScotland Listen for yourself from 5.15 bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

These findings mirror our #HungerInScotland research which found that 36% of people experiencing food insecurity were providing unpaid care. trusselltrust.org/wp-content/upl…

This isn't right. Scottish Government should act to support Scotland's unpaid carers & ensure they can afford the essentials.
