Regular reminder that the volunteers at the food bank are not judging you. We just want everyone to have enough to eat. We're doing our best to help.
If you are in a shaky spot and you can either get food or pay for another need, you are welcome at the food bank.
Even if you only need us once.
Even if you need us every week for 50 years.
Even if you have a good job and the month just got longer than the paycheck this time.
Even if you aren't completely out of food but you still need help rounding out your week.
Even if you usually volunteer at the food bank.
We just want to make sure you're not hungry.

A lot of trans Brits are very worried about the abrupt suspension of Welsh gender related surgeries.
For those who are wondering whether it's time to leave, I hope How To Get Out will help you get it right.
