Support for people with disabilities following benefit announcements

We know that many people who come to Hart Foodbank for support are disabled or have long-term health conditions. Recent announcements about proposed changes to disability benefits may have left some people feeling worried, uncertain, or anxious about what the future might hold.

We want to reassure our community that we are still here for you 💚

We understand that news about benefit changes can be unsettling, particularly when there is still uncertainty about what proposals may mean in practice. If you are feeling concerned, it’s important to remember that support is available and that you do not have to face these challenges alone.

For those looking for clear and accessible information, disability equality charity Scope has produced a helpful guide explaining the proposed changes and what they could mean for disabled people and their families.

You can read the guide here:

At Hart Foodbank, we remain committed to supporting local people facing hardship and helping connect individuals with the advice and services they may need.

If you are struggling, please reach out. You are not alone, and support is available.
