Research shows approximately 8700 people in Cheshire West and Chester will be affected by the proposed benefit reforms. Have your say and use this Trussell link to contact your MP to ask them to vote against these reforms on 1st July.

Your MP must vote against cruel cuts to disability support

Our social security system should be there for us all, especially when we need it most. But the UK government has proposed huge cuts to disabled people’s support which are going through Parliament now...

We provided 14550 emergency food parcels to people facing hunger in West Cheshire last year including 4832 to children.
People are turning to our food bank because our social security system isn’t providing the protection it should.
We’re calling for change – are you with us? 💚
