This is what volunteering for @PerthFlock looks like in my house tonight. A pile of mended clothes & lots of laundry.
Can you help us reach 600 uniform packs by donating the cost of a cup of coffee? Aviva will find match plus Gift Aid crowdfunder.co.uk/p/school-u…
Please share.

Listening to @MrsEmmaJacko this morning and I’ll be thinking about this all week. “The opposite of poverty is not wealth, it’s justice”

🚨 Looming catastrophe for those on low incomes🚨
Almost 120% of a single person's income (which clearly is madness).
Over 60% for single parents.
Over 50% for parents in a couple.
Pensioners' costs have tripled.
UK Government must act at scale NOW.

JRF's @KatieSchmuecker for @Channel4News:
"We are not even in winter yet and already our survey shows 7 million low income households [going without essentials], over 4 million getting behind with their bills, over a million taking out credit in order to cover the bills."
"If we don't see action, this is going to be a cold and dark winter for so many people".

With record-breaking 40ºC+ temperatures now recorded, don't forget:
Just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions.
This is a capitalist crisis and only system change can avert climate catastrophe.
