What is the summer of action?
Food banks across the UK are taking to the streets to raise awareness of the impact Universal Credit is having on people in their communities. At local street stalls, you'll have the chance to learn more, hear directly from food banks, and add your voice to the call for an independent review of Universal Credit by writing a postcard to your MP.
How can I get involved?
Check the list below to find a street stall near you. Drop by, write a postcard to your MP, and stand alongside your local food bank in calling for change.
