THANK YOU @LushLtd in Leeds, for donating gifts to the children for our 30th birthday event on 29th May. We are based in one of the top 10% most deprived areas in the country. @Morrisons @AsdaServiceTeam @marksandspencer How about you donate some fruit packs to the children?

It was lovely to host a quick visit from the Chancellor of the Excequer Rachel Reeves at the Pudsey Money Buddy session today. It was good to talk about the issues we are facing. Thank you @RachelReevesMP for sparing the time from your busy schedule x

ITV1 - gets it right, with @sat_jamesmartin cooking Lobster Thermidor, getting us all ready for Christmas!!! Spare a thought @ITV for those who have no food and need to rely on foodbanks! It's far more people than you think and they won't be getting any lobster!

@RachelReevesMP @hilarybennmp @alexsobel @FabianLeedsNE Help us secure funding for 2025!
Despite whether organisations like ours face a funding cliff or not, the work is still there. We get one referral an hour (24 in a day), on top of delivering all of our 35 outreach services and other services based at our hub! We need funding to continue this work!

People who we help in Foodbanks don't have enough money for TV luxuries such as @NetflixUK @DisneyPlus @AmazonHelp @tvlicensing @GMB @MartinSLewis @TrussellUK their Christmas is probably YouTube on an old sim only smartphone! Funding is critical to keep our services going.

That's amazing & a huge community endorsement for the #properdebtadvice that @LeedsMoneyBuddy provides
It was great to switch on Pudsey Lights and represent @LeedsMoneyBuddy tonight after being voted a 'community hero' by the community. Alongside me is Lisa Farrah, another community hero. It was a privilege, and I'm honoured to have been invited to do such a wonderful thing ❤️
