The Government's proposed changes to PIP (Personal Independence Payment) aren't just going to hurt disabled people. It will also have a knock on effect on those who care for them.

Carer's allowance provides support for unpaid carers, looking after someone who is generally receiving PIP. If that person loses PIP, what happens to their unpaid carers?

These reforms will push more people to needing to use the Foodbank, please click the link below and complete the government consultation on these proposals. We cannot allow them to happen, if we ever hope to reach a Britain where foodbanks aren't needed.
