👉🏽 Our partner, Rackets Cubed Community Box Scheme sees a variety of clients who report how helpful the subsidised shops are for those relying on welfare benefits. April's benefit changes in the UK, are expected to disproportionately affect vulnerable groups, particularly disabled people and low-income families. Echoing Trussell - life costs more if you’re disabled, especially in a cost-of-living crisis.

This post blew up on social media 💥 🧨 people find it hard to relate to huge figures, boiling them down is just as hard hitting. If London was 100 people: 2 people would be homeless  16 people would work multiple jobs to survive  15 would be facing food insecurity  4 of those 15 would be children  5 individuals would be using food banks regularly  29 adults would face obesity  24 children aged 10-11 would also face obesity https://lnkd.in/eee_Bdmq Our latest People Report looks at the positive socio economic value of free food Sarah Calcutt ARAgS Fiona Hollis Cristina Proietti Coralie Ayala Arielle Rosenthal Paul Freeston DONNA BEETHAM Mary Parsons Daniel Nicholls Charlie Loveday Po-Yee Lai Tay Motl Andrew Mcleay Laura Winningham OBE Stephen M.

Buckle up: “Awful April: Household bill increases will impact a greater proportion of the population than ever before. 30% of Londoners will afford fewer meals for the family, it will mean cold showers, cold food, poorer nutrition, and a heavier reliance on food aid from community organisations. https://lnkd.in/en2JjNtC The Big 5: FOOD alone is 25% more expensive than 2 years ago, rises in WATER, ENERGY, CARS and COUNCIL TAX will deepen the debt of households who have not seen wage increases begin to match the rise in cost of living. This isn’t ‘I can’t have a new mobile phone poor’ this is ‘I can’t feed my children’ poor, this is Dickensian levels of malnutrition, April is truly going to be awful for so many people.” Sarah Calcutt ARAgS City Harvest London CEO DONNA BEETHAM Charlie Loveday Daniel Nicholls Mary Parsons Paul Freeston Fiona Hollis Hilary Lindsay Denise Fellows Easteal Laura Doanová Arielle Rosenthal Mia Speier Stephanie Lvovich Stephen M.

💥ART AUCTION - Ends SUNDAY 23rd March💥 Nacoca Ko - our City Harvest London Planet Report artist has three stunning pieces in or auction to raise money to feed people facing food poverty. https://lnkd.in/ex8-vTGU Nacoca Ko’s work is a quasi-future exploration in which virtual images swell and give life to a new cultural narrative. Asking questions such as the influence of technology on our imaginary production, the artist moves between raw material, concise digital images and video to investigate consciousness and our experiences of reality. “Our global culture is woven from will and imagination – the ideas of our minds that create a chair, a social media community, a food redistribution program, a spaceship, a mine for raw materials…. Our cognition spreads to affect every appearance of existence on this planet. As we question the sustainability of our current systems, I find it very compelling to look at new ways of “thinking thoughts,” “worlding narratives,” and dreaming dreams. How we operate as a link between technology and nature defines the source and perpetuation of our society.
