#endchildfoodpoverty is not about children going hungry during the school holidays, this is about children going hungry full stop. Let’s not loose sight of the bigger picture here. There are at least 1.5million children we are not reaching with the free school meal scheme...
(1)
1.5million children have little to no access to food today...

As you pour your cereal, grab your pastry and your coffee to go this morning, think about that. 1.5million without any help at all.
(2)
Are we all just going to go about our day knowing that 1.5M 7-16 year olds need our help and our voice??

We need a long term framework to protect our children not another sticking plaster.

The asks remain the same and we won’t settle for less 👇🏾 (3)
Time to level up once and for all, and give our children a chance.

And if your local MP (aka YOUR representative) isn’t concerned by these growing numbers, ask them why...

Type in your postcode:
members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP

And tag them.

Why are our children not the priority? (5)

Imagine going to bed at night with a full stomach, preparing for a good sleep, knowing there are 1.1M helpless children who are probably wide awake listening to their stomachs grumbling or their parents sobbing, whose life could be significantly improved by one decision...(1)
If a child needs access to food at school, OF COURSE they need access to it at home! Why can't we provide assurance that our children will be protected during school holidays? Why is this even a question?? How do we justify not helping them?? People are losing their jobs...(2)
We are the 'United' kingdom. Surely we know right from wrong. I don't care where you are from or how old you are. You don't have to have experienced food poverty to know it is unacceptable in 2020. And this is not a COVID problem in the UK (3)

1. When you wake up this morning and run your shower, take a second to think about parents who have had their water turned off during lockdown
#maketheuturn
2. When you turn on your kettle to make a cup of tea or coffee think of those parents who have had to default on electricity bill payments just to make ends meet having lost their jobs during the pandemic

3. And when you head to the fridge to grab the milk, stop and recognise that parents of at least 200,000 children across the country this morning are waking up to empty shelving

Wouldn’t normally share these types of things but this certificate is not just for me, it belongs to you all. Each and every one of you that has contributed the few £s you can, you’ve all made a huge difference (1) Image
2.8million children a week are receiving meals they otherwise wouldn’t have during this lockdown because of YOUR help. I couldn’t have done any of this without the help of you all and @Fareshare (2)
To be recognised by my city is a great feeling. From being young I knew that if I ever got in a position that I could help I would and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved so far. Thank you all, you’re all superstars 🤩♥️ (3)

Guys, according to a report by the Food Foundation, 200,000 children in Britain have missed meals during lockdown because families ‘could not access food’. 500,000 more who rely on free school meals are receiving no substitute at all... how?? (1)
I launched my campaign with @FareShareUK 8 weeks ago. Today, we are supplying 2.8million meals a week for vulnerable people across the UK. Meals they wouldn’t otherwise have. And you all deserve a HUGE thank you! (2)
We have a big fight on our hands here! We have done an incredible job getting this far but there are still so many more vulnerable children to reach and I won’t stop until we are reaching as many as physically possible. (3)

Good morning!!

I have some homework and I need help from any PE teachers following me. @cbbc have asked me to pull together a PE session. I obviously know how to warm up but what else do I need? Is it all about cardio?

Help please 🙏🏾 I want to get this right.
@Mike_Phelan_1 you must have some advice 🙏🏾
Ok so far we have:
Get the heart rate going, focus on balance, try not to use equipment and just make it fun.
Am I missing anything?
