Lack of money , food and a roof over your head are all direct links to mental health issues and terrible stress, these are all very basic needs, shocking to see this problem growing by the minute every day in the UK. Thank you to the generous and lovely people who help in all ways in all the food banks all across the UK in these desperate times because without love and giving hopelessness kills souls.
For almost 30 years my friends and I clipped coupons to buy items to donate to the food bank. Little did I know that 35 years later I would have had severe health issues and lost everything and would need to take advantage of the food bank myself.
What about the elderly people that can't get out and do nothing they going to starve to they need food pantries to Nation wake up before we end up at camp like animals wake up Nation wake up
I'm going to start meal small food pantry for some people in my neighborhood with children because I will not sit by and allow innocent children to star at night I can help sad sad sad what the world coming to an end
Glad to see that we are not the only ones (here in the US) that are experiencing cutbacks and program terminations. Thank you Dear Leader and Little Paulie.
I was banned from the Leicester city council housing office for leaving general advice and information leaflets on universal credit. This is how frightened local councils are and how much councils want to wash theirhand if anyone on univerial credit

Ian Renberger: Just out of curiosity Mr. Renberger, I just want to know - What advice and information was imprinted upon these leaflets that caused such a furor ?
@ I'll tell you, no to univerial credit, there was nothing sedisius about it all . I left this same leaflet in newsagents and the library. If you are able to go there you ll see them. One security guard had nothing better to do.
It will never ever happen to me, because I will go and scrub toilets if I have to. Most people in this country would rather take benefits than take a job that they consider is beneath them. In Eastern Europe we're hardworking and smart, so we come here and do all the jobs, you don't want to do, we never go on benefits and we get by just fine. Interesting, isn't it?? Foreigners from another country living a better life than you do, without taking benefits. I've been here long enough to know what the majority of people are like here. Sorry.
@Seven Ellen I didn't put the cleaners down, it's the opposite. I speak excellent English but for some reason you don't seem to understand what I am trying to say.. I cleaned toilets myself for a while in this country. My point is: nobody should be ashamed of being a cleaner. Not taking the job, any job when you do not have any money, now that is shameful. Beggars cannot be choosers. Most people in this country would rather take the benefits because whatever job is available they won't take them because they think they're better than being a cleaner or something similar.
@@rekaszabo2912 and if you're in an accident, or struck down suddenly with an illness or something that means you can't physically be a cleaner ? Bear in mind that the minute you disclose that illness or disability the company won't give you a chance, even if you were determined to try?
Huh.......did i hear her right? The system usually take more than 4 weeks to come through on payment yet they will only backdate the money 4 weeks max? So in the average cases of waiting 6 7 8 or more weeks people already on their arse are being penalised because they dont get full backdating.......... Is this actually legal because to me it sounds criminal.........
I am in the US, and depending on the area, there are many people struggling economically. But there's one element that is a bit different today than it was during or after the Wars: the appalling lack of string family relationships, strong community churches, strong neighborhoods where people naturally looked out for one another. We've been sold on the claim that everyone needs to have their own homes, yet we ship our elderly away to institutes for care. If we returned to living more than one generation of family to a home, we would pay less rent or mortgage, less utilities, less property taxes because all adults would share the burden.
Dignity in poverty is what Jane encompasses, she found herself in reduced circustances due to the death of her husband, the same circumstances many of us could find ourselves in the future. Aside from what the government can do to help there are so many people willing and able to help with donations to food banks but are not aware of how to do so. Perhaps details of where to drop off food donations would be helpful.
Parliament has been saying the reason it’s rising and more people are going to food banks is because they want to spend their benefits on other things and get free food. Not that more people are struggling. What do you think? Could you go to a food bank if you really didn’t need it? I think I’d be too embarrassed. I’d have to be really in need before I went to a food bank. I think it’s that people are more in need.
Sophie Jackson I wouldn’t. In the United States you have to be truly poor or with an extremely low income to qualify for any SNAP, aka food stamps. The value of the benefit is only intended to cover 70% of one’s food budget. Even at that I’d rather work to make that little bit of money under the table, ie driving to pick up parts for a friend who owns a small business or serving a summons for a lawyer friend, than go to a food pantry where you get birthday cakes, canned soup and veg, or what not. I’m not going to wait a couple of hours, and act grateful for stuff I’d never eat. The few times I went I gave the food away to those who needed it and wanted it. My son used to bring me all the mark-outs from his Starbucks store. I shared with others who really appreciated the pastries, sandwiches, salads, fruit plates, and every once in a while a free bag of coffee. As it happens, there are lots of people barely holding on to their apartments as rents go up $100 a month these days. Salaries are not keeping up.
Here in massachusetts they have the greater boston food bank which supplies food banks,my local food banks places collection boxes in all local super market,also the local library
It is no exaggeration to say something is seriously wrong in the UK. With ‘Brexit’ and the threat that the UK will tear itself apart, starting with Scottish independence, the country has 40 year lows in unemployment but huge debts; both the government and its people. Despite low unemployment and mass immigration, the UK specializes in low skill and low paid employment with crises in almost every conceivable area: housing, drugs, crime, policing, health/NHS and infrastructure. The country is teeming with people yet it cannot afford the basics. Where does its taxation go? Its politicians are second-rate. The left or right and only seem to want to be in charge for egos sake. I am afraid the mess is now too awful for these inept types to resolve. The UK does not compete internationally having no indigenous mass car manufacturer. Jaguar/Land Rover is Indian for those that do not know. The Mini is German as too Rolls Royce and Bentley. Americans/Kuwaitis own Aston Martin. It has large numbers of vacancies for family doctors, general practitioners, but resorts to its tried and tested policy of elitism whereby it refuses to plan for those retiring and train its best and brightest choosing instead to steal trained doctors from third world countries. To attain the near 2000 doctors in now needs it will have to import hundreds of thousands of immigrants to work in our exploding areas of mini-cab drivers, fried food outlets and betting shops or off-course betting outlets. The ruling Conservatives appear to have no-idea and the opposition Labour party is atrocious. British productivity is a laughing stock with the UK needing more people than our competitors to achieve the same or worse results. Since the financial crash / great recession the government has implemented austerity in a bid to reduce government indebtedness which has resulted in a slowing/reduction in average life expectancy.
Self sufficiency is the key. Don't rely on government help. I totally agree with your point about poaching NHS from the third world. Why can't they train their own staff or are brits to thick to be doctors?
I,m in Germany and have worked and also supported the food banks here for 20 years. We used to serve mostly homeless people then, now it,s nearly all families and we,re starting to cut down the days that we,re open. It,s an absolute nightmare. As you show, cheaper foodstuffs like baked beans, rice, spaghetti or noodles are not beng donated so often, as people are using these to feed their families themselves. Every foodbank needs donations whether big or small.
Can't understand why there is a gap of 6 to 8 weeks. Surely this is an impossible problem with no money coming in for such a long length of time. Obviously it is ! Why the wait ? What is that all about ? Really damaging people down to a low existence.
From what i have heard from people Universal credit has improved a bit and more people are getting it sorted quicker, when this video was made i think it was a mix of it being new and people not trained enough on the new system so making to many mistakes and to many claims for them to handle at once. Not sure how it is for people since lockdown has happened and so many people losing there jobs :/ If people can afford it when they do their own shopping try and by just an extra tin of something or pack of biscuits to donate to your local foodbank.
So if people with money don't donate to the food pantry how are people going to eat if they don't have jobs to go to to make the money if y'all don't stop playing and help these people in need with food and these innocent children are you that heartless we know they're not your children but they're innocent and they have to eat
anyone from this channel want evidence that councils are withholding crisis funds and ignoring people that cant get to the rural foodbanks?. my nearest food bank is 4 miles away and they will not deliver. I go weeks without food and even go without water in the winter when the pipes freeze. if you want to see real austerity then I challenge Brentford tv to come visit my community and look at the criminal charging of the council tax, and the discrimination by the very institutions that are in place to prevent your health and safety. Brentford TV come have a look, its not pretty
Have you thought of growing your own food? Have you done anything about protecting your water pipes from frost?Did you know it is possible to walk or cycle 4 miles? Council tax goes towards housing 'homeless' immigrants.
Tell them to go to all the shops that throw away fresh food every night. No one in 2018 should be going without food. Thank your government for this. The thing with these food banks you can only ask them for a food parcel every two months. Yet the way they go on its like you can go there every week and that's not the case. If they was to communicate with serton shops they would get alot more food then people dont have to wait as long before they can go back and get another parcel. You dont get no five a day in your food parcel. Like they say beggers carnt be choices. Because wen you have to turn to a food bank they make you feel like a begger. And alot of the staff they have working there alot of them come across like there regrudging giving you a food parcel.
Unfortunately, you have to do all you can eg get an allotment, use other people's gardens to produce food. How did people survive in the past - with great difficulty - but everyone had a vegetable patch at the very least. What did the people do during the world wars and just after - surely the country was in a total mess - some inspiration can be drawn from those periods of hardship from extremely hard people of the past. Breaking the reliance on the government is essential because there are already huge cracks that can't be paid. People are not having children now or leaving it very late to ensure they, at the very least, have enough.
@@islanddweller3674 What else is there scrap metal, items people throw away that can be cleaned and resold. I found a ton of stuff when I pass through. Allotments and gardens are a little way outside the inner city. There are growing spaces on the balconies. Supermarkets discounting their goods at various times etc. All helps. Relying on government to solve all the problems sounds very risky. One of the richest countries doesn't help much, should this or that is also bs.
If i had to beg for work to eat, I would. Stores should donate and not put into dumpsters. Restaurants should help. I was raised to work to keep housing , food etc, and avoid welfare. I am visually impaired since birth, but i worked and helped non beggars. Vasectomies and sterilizations from birth.
And it seems there is a vein of credulity that poverty is somehow proclaimed by people that are let's say rich. This could be so easily fixed when you think of all the expenditures that governments make like sending money to other countries, military spending, the exorbitant salaries of top officials. The money is there it's just not a priority to help people in poverty. I say screw the credit card payments making the rich richer rather feed the children and others caught up in this game giving profit to a hungry corporations.
The problem is that at one time or another everyone needs a safety net or needs to know there is one so they don’t panic and make a rushed mistake. Ever since Thatcher came into office there is a growing disparity between the haves and haves not, just like the United States under Reagan in the early 80’s. Both had policies that shed the affordable housing available. Homelessness is the worst thing anyone can go through. Families with children are often homeless now and the haves seem to treat them with disdain. It’s best to catch the vulnerable before they fall. That means churches, community centers, government agencies must be willing to make that one time rent payment, or a portion there of, when a job loss or emergency leaves a family without their total rent. Furthermore, those families may need support for food, healthcare, clothing vouchers, job training, temporary jobs, and counseling. It’s a lot cheaper to help a family on the edge than to help a family who is completely down and out. Here in the United States I’ve cone to terms with the fact that there are people who are plainly cruel. As long as it isn’t them, as long as they can some way “other” the people hungry, homeless, or locked away, they dismiss the suffering and claim it’s “the Lord’s will”.
its not janes fault her husband died.... of course not but it is her fault she hadn't planned her life properly and had her own support system in place. It sad it is this way but people who are not poor decided to be an adult when they turned 18
Elderly population needs support. But young people who don't adopt family planning and try to have fewer children shouldn't be encouraged to expect free money or food. They don't work and go on producing more n more, particularly immigrants. Vegetable gardens need to be started.
A few years ago I became sick of seeing this, so I started pushing for a community garden and I wanted to set up a group to enable funding to help teach people how to grow their own. The first meet up was just me, the second, me and 2 outsiders I tried for months. I even got the council to donate some no mans land, but no interest what so ever. It makes me mad that people want everything given and refuse to help themselves. I grew so much food in my garden. I am now living in a tiny, beaten up caravan now and its a struggle, but I always find ways to survive. what has happened to our society? almost everyone i know who lives in a council house has a garden. why not grow food and swap left overs? its time to take back our power, and stop giving it away. people are starving while looking out at lawns that could be growing staples. .come on people its easy to grow potatoes. before everyone jumps on me, lets be honest, most of these people are not incapable. for those that are, they should be looked after by those who are not. Its like we have given up as a society and cannot function without a government. The system is designed to kill the poor, so fight back and take that power away from them, ,we can do it ! ps I live in a caravan now because I got sick of working full time to give it all away on mortgage and bills. so now I live very cheap and get to travel lots and live a nicer life, its not always easy, but I am used to strife and I prefer this to housing I cannot afford.
That is a real shame it didn't work out would have been great for kids too. I know a lot of people who suffer with mental health and loneliness would benefit from something like that and it's a shame they didn't join i imagine some wanted to i think with a lot of people they can't get over the first hurdle of going to a different place and mixing with strangers but if they did they would end up really enjoying it. Great that you tried.
People should be taught from an early age that to eat you have to work. You cannot permanently rely on charities or state benefits they should only be for emergencies.
@@cherylambrose8368 I started my working life with nothing. I have worked hard for everything I now have. Over the years I saved enough to buy a small farm and people like you think that I stole land? This only happens in places like South Africa to people who likewise have worked hard for it. Get off your lazy butt and WORK!
@@ronnieg6358 Well said. I agree with you 100%. Majority of these people caused their problems themselves. Only excuse for taking benefits is if you are ill or got disabled. If you don't have a job or money, you don't pick and choose, you take any job that is there.
I feel desperately sorry for the lady who lost her husband and for the kids, but people don't wait six weeks for universal credit, get a job. Please do not bring children into the world you can't afford either it's not fair, especially when the sperm cover can't call him dad does the deed then wanders off to get some other woman pregnant leaving the taxpayer to financially raise his kid and if you have a habit to go a drink or drug unit to get you off. He pro active not reactive. Help make the world a better place for society. Should read doner not cover
Island Dweller. Not at all. It is the view of someone who has had it far from easy, but has always worked hard and only had children when we had somewhere to bring them up and enough to look after them. It is almost unheard of to wait until couples have a stable relationship and somewhere to live now, they just breed and hope for the state to pick up the pieces. I am far from old but I have teenage/ early 20s daughters. They all work hard despite an hereditary disability. Please explain to me what is wrong with that outlook on life?
So celebrity this is y'all cue to help the poor and needy with food after you billionaire to donate food to the food pantry.

It’s a lot cheaper to help a family on the edge than to help a family who is completely down and out. Here in the United States I’ve cone to terms with the fact that there are people who are plainly cruel. As long as it isn’t them, as long as they can some way “other” the people hungry, homeless, or locked away, they dismiss the suffering and claim it’s “the Lord’s will”.
Refugees first. Don't forget that.
Are you serious? Charity starts at home.
@@ronnieg6358 not these days. It's all about the invaders.
its not janes fault her husband died.... of course not but it is her fault she hadn't planned her life properly and had her own support system in place. It sad it is this way but people who are not poor decided to be an adult when they turned 18
Good peepol thank god 4 use
Sounds like your credit system is set up for people to fail and once you get down on your luck it’s so hard to get out or up
Elderly population needs support.
But young people who don't adopt family planning and try to have fewer children shouldn't be encouraged to expect free money or food. They don't work and go on producing more n more, particularly immigrants.
Vegetable gardens need to be started.
the shelves should be empty, all food must go out.
No they need stuff on them all the time so they don't have to turn anyone down for help.
A few years ago I became sick of seeing this, so I started pushing for a community garden and I wanted to set up a group to enable funding to help teach people how to grow their own. The first meet up was just me, the second, me and 2 outsiders I tried for months. I even got the council to donate some no mans land, but no interest what so ever. It makes me mad that people want everything given and refuse to help themselves. I grew so much food in my garden. I am now living in a tiny, beaten up caravan now and its a struggle, but I always find ways to survive. what has happened to our society? almost everyone i know who lives in a council house has a garden. why not grow food and swap left overs? its time to take back our power, and stop giving it away. people are starving while looking out at lawns that could be growing staples. .come on people its easy to grow potatoes. before everyone jumps on me, lets be honest, most of these people are not incapable. for those that are, they should be looked after by those who are not. Its like we have given up as a society and cannot function without a government. The system is designed to kill the poor, so fight back and take that power away from them, ,we can do it ! ps I live in a caravan now because I got sick of working full time to give it all away on mortgage and bills. so now I live very cheap and get to travel lots and live a nicer life, its not always easy, but I am used to strife and I prefer this to housing I cannot afford.
That is a real shame it didn't work out would have been great for kids too. I know a lot of people who suffer with mental health and loneliness would benefit from something like that and it's a shame they didn't join i imagine some wanted to i think with a lot of people they can't get over the first hurdle of going to a different place and mixing with strangers but if they did they would end up really enjoying it. Great that you tried.
I only waited 5 weeks for U.C.
What's your point?
Video is 3 years old! Things change.
People should be taught from an early age that to eat you have to work. You cannot permanently rely on charities or state benefits they should only be for emergencies.
The only thing you are really working for is the keep the rich in caviar!
@@cherylambrose8368 I started my working life with nothing. I have worked hard for everything I now have. Over the years I saved enough to buy a small farm and people like you think that I stole land? This only happens in places like South Africa to people who likewise have worked hard for it.
Get off your lazy butt and WORK!
@@ronnieg6358 Well said. I agree with you 100%. Majority of these people caused their problems themselves.
Only excuse for taking benefits is if you are ill or got disabled. If you don't have a job or money, you don't pick and choose, you take any job that is there.
I feel desperately sorry for the lady who lost her husband and for the kids, but people don't wait six weeks for universal credit, get a job. Please do not bring children into the world you can't afford either it's not fair, especially when the sperm cover can't call him dad does the deed then wanders off to get some other woman pregnant leaving the taxpayer to financially raise his kid and if you have a habit to go a drink or drug unit to get you off. He pro active not reactive. Help make the world a better place for society. Should read doner not cover
WHat a jaundiced judgemental attitude. There but for sheer good luck go any of us.
Island Dweller.
Not at all. It is the view of someone who has had it far from easy, but has always worked hard and only had children when we had somewhere to bring them up and enough to look after them.
It is almost unheard of to wait until couples have a stable relationship and somewhere to live now, they just breed and hope for the state to pick up the pieces. I am far from old but I have teenage/ early 20s daughters. They all work hard despite an hereditary disability.
Please explain to me what is wrong with that outlook on life?
crime is on the increase
