Frances Ryan, a journalist for The Guardian and New Statesman, is looking fo disabled people and those with a long term health condition willing to share their experiences of food poverty: both how we’re being affected by it and ways you’re dealing with it.
Due to your disability, have you had difficulty accessing out-of-home help like food banks?
Have you been unable to buy food due to benefit changes?
Have you had to rely on other ways to find food when you couldn’t afford to buy it? e.g. scavenging, skipping etc.
Has your disability/long term
illness worsened due to malnutrition?
Any experiences you think are
relevant and you’d be willing to share, please get in touch on
frances.ryan18@btinternet.com. Thank you. (Please email rather than write in the
comments below as I wouldn’t want to miss your input.)
We think that it is important for people who have no idea what is happening
to some of us to hear the truth so if you are willing to share your details with
Frances we hope this will help let people know how disabled people, young
children and others who have been sanctioned for bizarre reasons such as looking
for too many jobs are being left to starve in the UK today due to the policies
of the Condem government.
