Interesting article in last nights local paper.
A Cambridge MEP has called on the govt to end its boycott of a new £3 billion European fund to provide food to the hungry in time for Christmas. Richard Howitt has teamed up with Trussel Trust who are charity behind food banks to campaign for them to be eligible for a new aid fund confirmed in Euro parliament last Tuesday.
Mr Howitt MEP said ' It is very sad that our Govt is opposing this much needed help for food banks on the basis that it is a national responsibility, when in reality it has no intention of providing the help itself'.
So we dont know how much they would be eligable for BUT.
