Are charities being used to withhold welfare?
A food bank in Nottingham has announced it will close at the end of the year, accusing the local city council of using it to avoid making hardship payments to vulnerable people.
Nottingham City Council stands accused by a food bank of withholding hardship support in the "expectation that they [applicants] seek help from friends or family and the food banks".
NG7 Food Bank has therefore decided to close at the end of the year, accusing senior officials of advocating "the co-opting of food banks, as part of their strategies in avoidance of using their own funds".
The food bank has fed more than 5,200 people in its 30 months, a sizeable chunk of the 913,138 people supported by food banks in 2013-14.
According to the Trussell Trust, a charity that oversees 420 such banks, more than 330,000 of the people fed were children. If that proportion was replicated at the NG7 Food Bank then around 1,800 recipients of food would have been Nottingham children.
Our Gov think nothing of throwing tax payers money at Europe, bailing the banks out while supporting illegal wars, matching donations to high profile charities, giving huge tax breaks to the large corps like Amazon and Starmucks, any country with a food shortage and the UK is there in a flash helping everyone else out, while 330,000 children are surviving by charity, not in any third world country, right here, next door to each and everyone of us.
And now the cheeky ******* are holding back on their duty of care because you can beg some food off a charity :29: :29: :29:
