What the petition asks
The Government is not providing enough support to families struggling in a desperate financial climate. Food banks should not have to exist, but they are unfortunately more important than ever. The Government must distribute appropriate funding to all food bank, so they can support local residents.
Many families are struggling more than ever, and access to food banks can often determine whether someone is able to have a meal or not. This should not be an issue in the sixth largest economy in the world.
