Many in our sector have been shocked by the behaviour of DWP towards the
Trussell Trust. How extraordinary that a charity that is the embodiment of
David Cameron's "Big society" ideal should be smeared and attacked in
the way it has been. A Christian charity, volunteer led and with voluntary, not
Government contributions is doing superb work at the sharp end of poverty.
My church in Charlbury supports the West Oxfordshire food bank- it’s in Mr Cameron's constituency (where today he entertains M. Hollande in a local gastropub I much enjoy myself!). I think many of us who do support food banks will wonder what is going on. Why refuse to meet with them?
For those who want to follow this sad tale the splendid article by Patrick Butler in Guardian Society says it all.
