Urgent Update June 2013 The people behind it.
I was shocked to discover this week that this Organisation gets Millions of pounds in tax payers money as well as local council grants to run this service, and yet they have staff working for free and collect food and cash from the public unaware of this even though we tax payers already pay them millions. Who is getting this money? after all it is public funds? i was further horrified to discover by using a net work of churches, people as part of the service are requested to Pray. We should all be asking questions as what is going on here is a very real scandle that people seem to refuse to talk about, because they are seen to be helping the poor. every one getting public funds must be open to public scrutiny more so when its directors are members of the political establishment awarding tax payers cash.
We Care Food Bank and advice centre needs donations to Buy Food and for running costs for our Advice and support centre and Outreach work. We also need a Van and are looking to buy a shop so every penny we get goes to people and pets in Need and not private Landlords. can you Help? £10 a month feeds a family and pet.
Thank you. Please re blog these details and tweet widely

If the Tories believe that their policies will reduce poverty, why are the instigators and creators of its 'Big Society' policies investing in, and directing food banks?
And not any food banks, but a nationwide network of foodbanks, which charge for the priviledge of being set up and are being used to replace welfare and aid for the poorest
