'Vivienne' is care worker in a home for elderly. She shares 1 room with her son & kitchen & bathroom with 10 other adults & 6 children. She pays £600 pounds a month - she tells @JackieLongc4. Care workers twice as likely to die of Covid19 than general population.

Meet 'Tabitha' another carer who spent 28 days off sick with Covid-19 symptoms and was forced to rely on charity for help. Since returning to work she often walks an hour both ways because "with one meal I couldn't afford transport" she tells @JackieLongc4

Both women asked not identified for fear of losing their jobs & accommodation. They are low paid, regarded as low skilled, & without question in normal times, low valued.

Tonight clap for Vivienne & Tabitha, and thousands of others like them, when you come out to clap tonight.

TONIGHT: shocking Channel 4 News report reveals how hundreds of overseas students have become destitute in the UK during lockdown, and turned to food banks in desperation.

One food bank in E London caters exclusively for 1700 international students a week, who queue for hours.
Report by @Anja_Popp, produced by @ShaheenSattar & filmed by @WilwithoneL - reveals international student visas don't give them access to government help and lockdown means there's no part time work available for them to support themselves.
Ben arrived from India to study in UK in March. Shared room with 1 student in Bedfordshire but when Covid hit - moved to house in E London with 14 students. Cramped accommodation means only way they can afford the rent - is by sharing beds - with as many as three other students.
