The event takes place as part of a national series of WSO events this weekend, and throughout the year, raising money for and awareness about austerity and those most affected by it. 1 in 5 of the UK population live below the poverty line: www.weshallovercomeweekend.com/gig-guide-wso2019
Leeds' Foodbanks - ‘Several issues have resulted the rise in demand, but...changes in benefit payments are the main reason people resort to using food banks...around 50 to 60 per cent of clients use food banks for this reason...Much of this is due to the move to Universal Credit, which can mean weeks without payment for some claimants...It is also because of changes to tax credits and other entitlements which working families make use of. People on low incomes because of zero-hours contracts and part-time work are also frequent clients...along with those suffering debt - often because of gas and electric bills. Other reasons also contribute to people’s need for food banks, such as those who are having to escape domestic abuse’.
