We have extended the time of our seminar by half and hour to 8.30 pm and are very grateful to the two new speakers who have joined us. It would be good if you will circulate widely so we get a full house on the 1st May.

Unaffordable housing and hunger.

In the hour before we all gathered for the beginning of the IFS 50 year celebrations last night The Guardian published these two letters on line. "“Lack of affordable housing is a national emergency, writes Rev Paul Nicolson, while Karen Barratt asks when the government is going to take action to help struggling families that can’t afford decent food and treat food poverty as an emergency? ”

The homeless and the hungry very urgently need immediate first aid while we all discuss what to do with the benefit system.

With good wishes,

Paul
