The Felix Project finds more than half of working families using food banks

UK: The Felix Project – More Than Half of Working Families Using Food Banks! (12.12.2025)

It has resulted in The Felix Project seeing even more demand from food banks for help, Rachel Ledwith is Head of Community at The Felix Project, she said: “These results clearly show that things are not getting better for families across London. It is appalling that more and more parents can only put food on their table because of a food bank and so many are being forced to skip meals, send their children to school hungry and cut back on other things to cover their essential food bills. The Felix Project rescues as much food as it can, this year we are on course to give out the equivalent of 35 million meals, but this is not enough to satisfy demand. That is why we are launching our The Empty Plate Emergency Appeal and asking people to show their support.”

Sutton: Evening Walk with the Puppies! (8.5.2023)

Indeed, Sutton Council was once ‘forced’ (during the 1990s) to make a public statement to the effect that it recognised and supported the principle of multiculturalism – such was the bad reputation it had regarding accusations of bias, prejudice and blatant racism! This impression was not helped by the fact that the Met Police had also been involved in one or two high profile incidents where it faced Court actions from non-White people subjected racist Police tactics! A Chinese man had telephoned the Police to report that his shop was under siege from members of the far-right. The Police turned-up – greeting the thugs by name – and then ‘arrested’ the Chinese man (giving him a good beating whilst in the back of the van). Luckily, he as very wealthy and was able to pursue this matter in the Courts! Still, it is a lovely evening today on VE Day!
