We are Food and Solidarity, a structured and democratic organisation, committed to improving the quality of life of the people in the neighbourhood. As an organisation established in Newcastle Upon Tyne, we have impacted lives in great measure across the city and beyond.
We’re building a national campaign of direct action—and we need you.
We have been campaigning since the autumn of 2024 against Child Poverty, with specific demands for the government to abolish both benefit caps, including the 2 child benefit cap, and end no recourse to public funds.
We demand the government:
The action to achieve our goal would draw from the tactics and strategy of DontPayUk (and our local actions), an organisation known for championing the campaign for collective non-payment of energy bills. Inspired by DontPayUK’s mass mobilisation tactics, we’ll use collective action to pressure politicians. But to sustain this fight, we need strong local groups like yours to keep the pressure on.
We Can Provide Everything You Need
Vigilance is the price of liberty[1]. If we do not act now to save children from poverty, our future is at stake. Every day we wait, more children go hungry. Together, we can force politicians to listen. There is strength in unity; and with a common voice, we can win.
Fill in the form NOW! Deadline: 15th February
